And there happend to be a Macintosh IIcx. Little old thing works great even after sitting out in the rain for a few months. Damn apple makes some tough computers. Also in the load was a new HP Deskjet printer, new BrotherIntelliFax 770, some other old fax, 4 pc monitors, an old 386 PC with non working Windows 95. The keyboard for the Mac is some odd one with a trackpad on it. Also got a stack of 3.5 floppys with stull like Windows 3.0, Lotus 1-2-3(with manual) and a bunch of DOS disketts. Now ive just got to figure out what to do with it all.

What does the trackpad keyboard look like? If it is an Apple branded keyboard it may be possible that it went to a 20th Anniversary Mac. If that is the case you could fetch a few bucks for it on eBay.

You can usually find great lots of computer stuff from government auctions. Stuff from schools and old offices.
