Surely someone has this problem besides me. I have a model one that I don't use since I got my macintosh. I don't feel like throwing it away and I doubt whether anyone would want to buy it, except for parts, maybe? Anyway, has someone found a good way to let someone else make use of a model 1. Do schools want them, etc? -- David E. Leasure - AT&T Bell Laboratories - (201) 615-4169 homxc!del

Leasure - AT&T Bell Laboratories - (201) 615-4169 > homxc!del I saw an article in Insight (a Newsweek/Time like magazine) a couple issues back about a non-profit corporation that was accepting used computers and giving them to third world countries. Naturally, you could write the gift of it as a tax deductable donation. Unfortunately, I don't have the article anymore, so I don't know how you would get in touch with them.

Schools tend to get finicky over donations, believe it or not, but there are some pretty worthy places that might want them for whatever. Maybe a home for the handicapped, some place where you have people who want to get introduced to computing on a simple system, etc. Besides feeling good about doing something good instead of just chucking it, you can take a nice writeoff at tax time!
