As you seem to be in O/S X & Microsaft world there would be no point in=20=

keeping this perfectly good computer. For hundreds of thousands of=20
poorer people this system would be a godsend.
The printer is very good & will undoubtably work, but it is a Serial=20
printer; forerunner of USB; and I've yet to find a reliable Serial to=20
USB converter for such printers. It's cheaper to buy a new USB printer.
Donate would be great, but mostly to the US where there are a number of=20=

Orgs, but shipping will cost about $50-60.
I have donated many similar systems to a number of local Welfare=20
recipients, just to get them into computering.
TTFN,
