Same way in my area.  You won't see a computer of any type in any Salvation 
Army or Goodwill around here anymore.  A real shame.

When they did have computers, and the occasional Coco showed up, they never 
had feet on them.  I have one in my closet with no feet.  Why would anybody 
ever pull the feet off?  I never understood if they came in that way or if 
there was a guy in the back pulling off the feet for some odd reason.


And thanks to Duane for the link.  I was unaware of their online sales.
