ND, I found a great group up here that takes old electronic (music and computer) equipment, teaches kids how to do electronic repair on them, rehabs them, and ships them to the Third World for use in classrooms. [link] Perhaps there's a group like that in the LA area? I get great tax deductions, and I feel good that the stuff isn't going into the landfill.
Let me guess. We're in a hurry.

Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!

Cool. I'll look for something like that down here. I've also got some old musical gear that I should really clear out as well.

I know that a lot of the elementary schools in my area grateully took any old computer equipment to teach the kids on. So that's an option too.

Sadly, any friends that I might be able to sell my current TiVo to, I've already converted to the wisdom of TiVolove, and they already HAVE them.
i'm in the market for a tivo, meara. what are the specs on the one you want to sell?

Oooh. Tiggy with the tempting! It's a 60 hour, Tiggy. Series 2. Has always worked fine for me--I bought it...hmm....almost 2 years ago--it was in March.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
DH has a new iMac G5 in the other room (17", 1.8Ghz, Superdrive).
I have envy.
I also have a question. Our printer is a serial printer connected to my (WinXP) computer. I know the instructions for getting the iMac to use the printer are somewhere in the manual, but if someone here knows off the top of their head, it'd probably be faster...

(Okay, and he just sing-songed "I love my new computer, la la la!" from the other room. That's just not nice.)

Hah!
I presume the G5 is running OSX. Are your computers networked? The easiest solution would be to network the computers and access the printer through the network via the IP address using the Print Center in OSx.
