OT: computer donations?

[Dazed_75]

As a volunteer in the AZStRUT program I can say that we happily accept all
such donations.  Actually, any electronic gear is welcome.  You should be
aware that the oldest equipment often goes directly to the recyclers rather
than being used.  Many of the schools and other organizations we supply with
systems for training or use are only interested in Pentium III and up.  I
expect within the next year they will change that to P4 and up.

At the same time, letting us send the oldest things to the recyclers is
still a win-win as the recyclers pay us for the material which helps support
the program and ecologically the cleanest disposal of some heavy metals etc.

I guess the point is that donated systems don't always end up in a users
hands though most do.
