Donating my old iMac?
Where would I go to find out how to donate my old iMac for refurbishing or whatever use someone else might want to make of it? I hate to just throw it away -- it still works just fine!

Hi Clara,
Well where are you located?
If you're near Chicago I do exactly what you're talking about.
There are homeless shelters and not for profits that can also use them.
Which model are we talking about?
The trays I run OS 9.2.2 and Kid Pix 4, Living Books and a bunch of other apps. These are then donated to kindergartens in the inner city.
The slots I run either Panther or Tiger, increase the HD and run GarageBand, Music Ace, iMovie. This depends on the speed anything 400 and above will work fine.
You could run an ad in your local Craig's list in the free section for teachers in your area. I did that and got 8 teachers in the inner city, some with Head Start that needed computers. Many of their kids come from homes with no computers and the ones I donated were the first these kids had actually had a hands on experience with.
Charter Schools are also a good place to check.
