I have found the Salvation Army "Goodwill" to be equally non-productive places
to get older hardware in So. IL as well. There is one larger thrift sore here that tends
to have older systems, usually of the 386/486 varities, but thats about the extent of it.
Most of the time I am forced to get stuff from [shudder]....from EPay...as PCjr's (my
love and speciality) just dont seem to "pop" up at any given time.

Where I am now, most of the Salvation Army/Goodwill thrifts have big "NO
COMPUTERS!!!" signs out front so they won't even take them in just to toss
them.

Most of the Salvation Army, Good Will and other
similar stores in San
Antonio tend to throw away computers and parts. But, you never know when
that's going to happen, so ya gotta dive their dumpsters daily. Often,
all
you come away with is the stench. (Why do they always
seem to park these
places next to Class-D or 1-star restaurants?!)
