You can't give them away
Who would have thought it was so hard to give away computers?
Hot on the heels of a near-riot when Henrico County decided to sell their used iBooks for only $50, the Pittsburgh Public schools are also running into trouble giving away their PCs.
In both cases, the problem is that the school districts valued the old PCs at much less than the market (Henrico at $50; Pittsburgh said they were "garbage").
Hasn't anyone heard of ebay?
