Wow, that would be cool!  My local Salvation Army just has PC's at too 
high a price.  They don't seem to be carrying many any more.  Although, 
they don't seem to be carrying much of anything but cloths right now. 
That could be driven by the fact that they are about to open a new much 
larger store very soon, so they could be holding back merchandise at the 
warehouse so they don't have to move it 3 times.  I say three time, 
since they always move the stuff twice.  For some reason, they ship all 
the donations to the out of town warehouse for pricing and 
distribution... even big stuff like furniture.  Seems very inefficient 
to me.  Unless maybe it's a space issue.  The back room in the current 
store is tiny.

I feel like a dork, for being excited about the opening of the new store 
on April 2nd :-)
