Subject: [MM] SF Bay Area...donation of old Macs?

Apologies in advance if this is a bit outside the normal "urgent questions
only," but I've searched for an answer to this on and off for a few months
now with no good answers.

Does anyone know of a good place to donate old Macs to in the San Francisco
Bay Area?

As I understand it, BMUG is defunct, and they used to get my hand-me-downs.

The schools don't seem very interested as they only want reasonably new
generation computers (probably due to our proximity to Silicon Valley).

Any ideas? Maybe just someplace like the old Wierd Stuff Warehouse?

I have two Mac SEs wth 10baseT/10base2 Ethernet cards in them. I believe one
has an adapter for an external display. Standard keyboards and mice to go
with them. I believe they have 4 MB of RAM and whatever stock hard drive was
in them. Running Mac OS 6 or 7 as I recall when the came out of production
as copywriter stations at a graphics firm I worked at 5 years ago.

Was going to use them as X-10 kiosks, but that project is dead.

Specific phone numbers and addresses most helpful. Will summrize, of course!
