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.
