I’m in the Air Force so I travel from time to time and I always make it a point to stop at the local Goodwill. I love the local business t-shirts. I’ve built quite the collection in the last ten years or so and it’s still growing!

I quoted you in my Real Estate blog about being new to a town and how to get a feel for what it’s all about. Thank you again. Awesome idea. http://yourrealtornextdoor.wordpress.com/

This is in response to the question, “Should I drill my hard drive before I donate my computer?” (That would ruin the hard drive and make the computer worthless, of course) Here is what I said:

Those of you who think that Goodwill only sells junk computers to tinkerers are wrong. Goodwill has computer recycling centers in several cities around the US. If you’re lucky enough to be near one you can pick up a late-model PC running Windows 7 with a range of memory, HDD, and optical drives, depending on what they have on hand for around a hundred dollars. Monitors run from around ten bucks for the oldies to around fifty for an lcd screen. They also have a wide assortment of accessories, and about a million miles of various cables. So, please don’t overload them with junk. They are a great organization doing good for the community, good for the environment, and good for me, personally, with two of their refurbished computers running in my home.
