Actually, Dick, I've got the same problem mice-elf these days. In my initial zeal to rescue, I ended up with a lot of early Macs and Mac hardware which nobody wants. The old Macs are now gone, but I still have lots of bits - old Mac non-extended keyboards, the square mice...a couple of old modems (not even 56K!). The really old stuff (a couple of old Mac Plus keyboards & mice) I may put on eBay, since collectors still look for this stuff. The other stuff...I dunno. I've been reduced to taking apart non-functioning printers and the like - giving all the electronic bits to my hubby for his collection of resistors and capacitors etc. Can't go to the Andover recycling days anymore, now that they've started demanding Andover drivers licenses...don't live in Andover! (meanies...
)
Right now I have two non-functioning Laserwriters (old, slow and 300 DPI max - if they worked, which they don't) which will be taken apart shortly, unless someone has a place to donate them. None of the places that take stuff around here want non-working or models THAT old.
I've been ordered to remove "the junk" from the basement & garage...so have spent several days lately sorting it all and marveling at my stupidity in "rescuing" it in the first place.
I did eventually learn
not to get the really old stuff, but didn't realize that getting rid of it (back at the recycling days) was going to become a problem. Sigh.
