With all this talk of Goodwill (and thank you for educating me, guys!), I 
decided to check one out.  They had lots of computer equipment on the shelves, 
but it broke down thusly:

50% 15" VGA monitors
30% Packard Bell or other similar trash PCs
10% keyboards
5%  Printers (all inkjet)
5%  Software (mostly games, early CDROM junk, the few good ones were incomplete)

I'll keep checking every month, though.
