Hi Eric,
I'm in the UK so can't be much help for rehoming, but please don't send
this to the recyclers. I'm sure there'll be someone on this list who will
take it. One thing we're really short of in the Superbrain world is disk
images of the OS and applications etc so if there's a box of floppies too
then that's even more useful.
Cheers,
