Want to give my Powerbook G3 to a good home

I uncovered an old Powerbook G3 (this puppy must be 10 years old!) and I would like to either donate it or give it away. I no longer have the cables for it (no power cord, etc.). Any recommendations? I can't even turn her on to delete all my old files, data, etc. Is this something the Apple store can help me with?

Thanks!

intel, Mac OS X (10.4.8)

It might help to know what country you are in.

If you are sure you can't find the power cord, I'd either go to my nearest mac reseller and see if they want it for parts, or put it up "as is" on eBay and see if anyone wants if for the price of shipping.

BTW Power cords are pretty easy to find on eBay etc.

I'm in the USA. I might check with a reseller... Hadn't thought of that!

There are several ways to give it away (or get a power cord). You can join LEM-Swap for buying & selling Mac stuff. http://groups.google.com/group/lemswap List it on your local Craig's List - http://www.craigslist.com/ or Freecycle.
