I am SO going to this. Did you know that Goodwill does not accept monitors as donations? I’ve got years worth of stuff piled in my shop from when I made extra money custom-building desktops.

Thanks for letting me know about this. Woot!

There should be more of these events everywhere.

If you are making plans to go, plan to be there early, EARLY! Lines at these events tend to get long very quickly.

If you have a laptop of wifi capability, please consider donating to me instead of throwing it away. Please, and Thank You
