Looking for computer donations for a public h.s....

With the price of new computers down into the under $500 range, she 
might be much better off buying brand new ones. I would suggest that 
she contact places like PC for Everyone in Cambridge, or maybe one of 
the retailers like CompUSA, Microcenter, Best Buy. They might have 
some left over new systems that they can't really sell. 286 systems are 
too obsolete to run any of the current operating systems.
