<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Speaking of Goodwill, it seems like
they all will *take* PCs but few put any up for sale. I scored a
couple of decently usable LCD monitors at the GW in Athens last
year. The one in Macon has been the only one I've seen in the past
few years that regularly puts PCs up for sale. One of my best
scores lately was a quad Xeon Dell with hardware RAID; it was
sitting on the pavement next to an electronics recycling trailer
at the Dekalb government complex on Memorial Drive. There was
nothing wrong with it other than its Windows installation which
was quickly done away with.<br>

More of a "please reuse my old stuff before I send it to Goodwill"
than a swap. Or the reciprocal portion is a happy "Thanks!". :-)<br>

<div dir="ltr">I have never attended a meeting, owing more to
social anxiety (and now distance) than any other factor. I
like the idea of free old gear, but might a "swap" create a
feeling of a reciprocal obligation to bring something to
contribute? Might that not have the reverse effect, or at
least negate any benefit?
