That's amazing! 20 computers probably worth at least $25 each tossed in the
dumpster? What a waste! $500! Mac plusses are really still good machines. I
managed my business using Excel, Word and quicken on one until a couple years
ago (until I sold the business). The local shop here parts them out for repairs.

I did see our goodwill toss a Radio Shack Model 4P(??) and an Osborne the other
day alond with a pile of PC Jr's and Commodore stuff. I almost grabbed them
until I remembered I have a pile to get rid of and no time to play with them.
Every Friday they clean (dumpster) the electronics section.
