Hi. I know some people who have some old powerbooks. Some work, some don't. They want to get rid of them the quickest way possible. If not they're going to throw them out. i would feel really horrible letting them destroy Macs. They have 4 PowerBook 1400/166c's and one Wallstreet. Most of them are missing components of one part or another. These people don't want the long drawn out process of selling them whole, or in peices on ebay. They want to get rid of them now. If there are charities of some kind that would take them they would give them away. They are located in central Jersey. Any ideas? Thanks.

If you could be a little more specific about what is missing from each individual machine that would help a lot. I work at a camp that does a lot of programming with inner-city kids. We are always looking for newer equipment to use in our programs. Post back and let me know condition/functionality of each machine. Maybe we can work something out.
Yeah, about those TPS reports, didn't you get the memo?
