"If I had a dollar for every time........." Hoping to find a PCjr show up here is probably impossible. Im in Carbondale, IL, which is pretty much by itself in the deeper part of So. IL. Most of the area around here is farm land and what not, and the chances of great computer fnds are *probably* a little less than if I were nearer a larger metropolotian area...[sigh].....Oh well...

Yeah, that's what the one near me does. They won't even take them in
anymore. What's worse is, they will take all the parts... just not the
CPU. So they breakdown otherwise complete systems.

Although, I am humored when the occasional computer makes it thru, like
the other day they had a PCjr. It just shows that they know nothing about
the stuff. If it doesn't look like a modern WinTel box, they don't seem
to recognize it.
