Sounds pretty fair to me. Can I dump my old IBM Windows 98 ME for any collectors cash?

I still have my first computer: A Royal 8-bit with two 5.25" floppy drives and with a 12" gold character screen that uses "Peachtree" software (c. 1983).

Still have the daisywheel printer, too. Wrote my 2 grad school theses on this thing, back when you still had to submit your work as originally typed work on 25% cotton bond.

Wonder if it's worth anything ....

FReegards!

I wonder how they are going to verify her identity? No telling how many grifters are going to show up and claim they made the donation.

The donor will probably sue for the whole 200k. No good deed goes unpunished.

Valuable computers are a rarity. Much more common is the case of a widow selling her late husband's guns for far less than they're worth, or worse yet, turning them in to a "gun buyback." Be sure your wife knows how valuable they are.
