Re: goodwill store brag
Nice find!
But, for all you thrift store junkies out there: is it common to for you
to find parts of computers, but not the entire machine? It is a common
problem out here, particularly when it comes to keyboards and monitors
(and I'm not talking about the every-so-pervasive Wintel parts).
Are people simply breaking apart these old systems, hoping that the
keyboards and displays will work on their PC's, then donating the parts
when they discover the parts will not work? Or are stores simply
tossing the stuff which doesn't resemble contemporary computer parts?
