This was on the Mac Evangelist. Anyone qualifies, respond to original post, not me. larry -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Subject: [FYI] Macs to Donate From: "Steve Chambers" <schambers(a)sarnoff.com> Date: Sat, 21 Apr 2001 03:09:06 +1000 Folks, A while back I had posted a message here about some Macs that my company (Sarnoff Corp.) can donate to any registered non-profit organization. The person who was responsible for arranging for the physical transfer never followed up with the contacts I provided him. That person isn't with the company any more and I can now proceed with this donation. So if there are interested parties out there: 1. you MUST be in the local area (Princeton NJ) because you are picking this stuff up yourself 2. you MUST be a registered non-profit organization and be able to provide proof of that to me 3. You need to arrange pickup of the equipment ASAP. Preference will be given to people who can pick up the equipment the week of April 23-27. You will need a 12-foot u-haul (or equiv, perhaps larger) for all the equipment we have. We will bring it to our loading dock but it is up to you to get it in the truck. Below is a partial list of equipment to donate: a number of working and non working 6100/7100/8100/7500/8500 Macs. A few older ones as well. A number of PowerBooks in the 100 series. Several monitors of the 17" and 21" variety, all working as well as a couple of smaller ones. Note that there are not as many monitors as Macs by half. 3-4 Laserwriter-II printers all (presumably) in working order. A boatload of cables, keyboards, mice, transceivers, phonenet connectors, batteries, PowerBook ac adapters and the like to go with the aforementioned computers. *PLUS* A _Large_ inventory of Apple Service Parts to repair printers, desktop Macs and PowerBooks. All working Macs have an OS on them but nothing else. The OS is the one that was on it when it was last used and all that was done was our software and settings were removed, so the OS on these Macs is probably not complete, but is sufficient to boot the Mac. There is a *LOT* of stuff here folks. There also is the possibility that some more CPUs and monitors will come available at a later date. Please respond via email only (no calls please) with some info on your organization and how soon you can take this off our hands. On a personal note, I recently experienced a hard drive crash and have lost the email addresses of the people who have responded to the previous requests. So if you have contacted me before about this do so again as I don't have the contact info any more! cheers!
