None of the
goodwill/salvation army stores near my home in NE Massachusetts
will even accept computers of any kind for donations. That really annoys
me, both from a donatig and a collecting perspective.
The problem is that they now have to pay to get rid of anything that
doesn't work or is simply not saleable. Blame it on the environment :)
That wasn't the case for the one near me (pay to dump garbage... in NJ?
BAH! We love toxic waste, we like to build sports stadiums on it).
The one that had been near me told me they wouldn't take them, because
they got sick of people expecting support, or wanting to return them when
Windows crashed. Since they had a strick "All Sales As Is, All Sales
Final" policy, they were simply tired of pointing that out to people. So
they stopped selling CPUs to avoid the headaches.
