<p class="MsoNormal">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.<o:p></o:p></p>

Every time you stop a school, you will have to build a jail. What you
gain at one end you lose at the other. It's like feeding a dog on his
own tail. It won't fatten the dog.
