Used computer to donate...

by Mary Anne » Sat Feb 20, 2010 6:46 pm

I've got an old 2003 eMac running 10.3, it still runs well, of course, it's a Mac... :) I'd like to donate this to someone or an organization who may need a computer for simple word processing, email, web browsing...I know I read a thread on here once about where to donate used usable computers, can someone give me some clues as to where I might rehome this white beast? Thanks!

There was an article in last Sunday's CJ about the museum in the Portland area of Louisville needing money and they were so broke they were still using an old Apple IIe to manage their mailing list (I think). Maybe they could use it?

Here's the link to the story:

Thanks Jeffrey, I will contact them and see if they'd like my eMac...you gotta love Macs, how many freaking PeeCees are still running from the 80's?

A couple of mine still run, so do both my TRS80s, and the C64.
