Re: Any interest in Apple IIgs computers?

Hello all,

Two local schools in my area are trying to get rid of some Apple IIgs
computers.  I found out about this in time to save them from the
dumpster.  The total number of computers is somewhere between 50 and
100.

I have NOT seen the computers, so I have no idea what shape they are
in.  I assume they are dirty, and may have school markings engraved or
painted on them.

I am going to see them on Tuesday, so I will have a better idea of the
details then.

I would like to accomplish two things: Get these computers to people
that will use them, and make a donation to the schools.

Assuming the computers are in working order, complete and functional,
and assuming they may need a good cleaning, and may have school
markings on them,
how many people would be interested in them for $5.00 each + shipping
(for those with small fonts, that's FIVE dollars each, plus shipping)?
 I live in Massachusetts, USA, ZIP code 01473.
Please respond OFF-LIST... 
And remember, I have NOT seen them yet, so I cannot give any more
details than what you see here.  I have no current idea what ROM
versions, what cards, or what software might come with these.  I will
post a message on Tuesday evening letting all of you know what's up...

Your responses will NOT be binding in ANY way ... I'm just trying to
gauge general interest...

Our local group here in Winnipeg was given a bunch from one school and offered another from a different school. We were able to distribute them free to low income people within the space of a couple of hours. They were glad to have them. Perhaps you could do the same. Alternatively you could check out some special education schools in your area. They may want to take them.
