        | In my experience, the "volunteers" at the Salvation Army
filtered out
        | anything that even resembled computers so that they could sell
it
        | themselves. If it comes in a box and has a detach keyboard
(i.e. looks
        | like a PC) it never gets to the showroom floor. Trust me....
I *know*

Well, I don't think they're selling them themselves... if they have a
policy (perhaps nationally) like the western washington Salvation Army
headquarters in downtown Seattle, they auction off pallets of donated
computer equipment to the for-profit thrift organizations such as Value
Village, Thriftko and Shop & Save.

Unfortunately, the Seattle headquarters holds the auctions not monthly,
not weekly, but DAILY, and at 8:30 AM !!!
