Here in Denver, you can go to any of a dozen thrift stores and buy nearly any
sort of older MAC for $5 upwards, though few are as high as $50. Oddly enough,
the newer decked-out ones are often quite inexpensive, while the older classic
mac's are high, e.g. $25 or so. I've yet to go out on any day when I couldn't
come back with at least a dozen mac's though. I've yet to take one on, however.
I don't even accept them when they're offered for free. It's too frustrating
getting the boxes open.
