I am on another list that is for people who want to "rescue" computers for
reuse, either their own use or in some fashion (sales or donation) returned
to active duty. This list grew out of a vintage mac group, so it is REAL
short on non mac people and the first offers we are getting are all or
mostly PC related. This is an open invitation for anyone on this list that
is interested to join up and help get this group going.

We really need to offer nationwide contacts so that as offers come in of
computers they get a timely response and somebody actually goes and picks
them up. BTW I say nationwide, but mean worldwide.
How I treat this list is that anything that shows up available to me, that
isn't local to me, or isn't of interest to me I post to the list. The plan
is that all the list members do the same, so that everything gets taken
care of. The group sprouted spontaniously about a month ago, and could
really use more people to help shape the focus and get things started.
Future plans are ambitious, with ideas about emailing large organizations
to shift them from dumping to donating.
