Please consider donating your used computer or components
to organizations that can use them. Many of us store the
boxed up systems in the garage or closet, for the intended
purpose of a garage sale or maybe Junior's use when he
goes to college (Like he will want a 7 year old computer).
The potentially useful system then becomes sadly out of date
and finally thrown to the landfill.
There are many lists of organizations that will refurbish
your used system and help find it a new home. One starting
point is:

"Homeless Hardware" is in need of a few components
to finish a system that will be donated to a teacher
at Lincoln Elementary School in Tipton Co. IN. The
components donated to this system will be tax
deductable. You can find out more about Homeless
Hardware at URL:

Specifically the needed items to complete a 486-66
system with CD ROM and Windows are:
1) VGA monitor (15 pin, not the 9 pin connector)
2) 100+Meg hard drive
(The system currently has only a 40M hard drive)
3) Sound card (almost any old card will be fine)
