The computerbank I > know gives them away. Laurence I think it is Computer Angels or something in WA. I do not know if there was ever any Computerbank in WA. Obviously the Victorian CB has enough surplus computers from core projects to sell them off for a nominal amount. The biggest problem in the Computerbank that I was involved in was storage space. There just isn't ongoing storage space available unless you have an income and the only way they could get one reliably is by selling surplus stock.

Next time I'm near a Salvos I'll see what the mob who flogs them here is called.
