I am in, sounds good. Dynebolic would be a great Pd demo platform for
scavenged computers. I have about 15 scavenged PCs myself, ranging
from PII 450 to PIII 700. I am also part of Madagascar Institute,
which is an arts non-profit which has done 'official' recycling
activities. I'd love to do a project to showcase what you can do with
Pd and abandoned computers.
My experience with Materials for the Arts is that their computer gear
selection is small and not so good, but its the luck of the draw there.

Id be down, im in NYC.... and I know share (the event in NYC) would love some hardware to set up an open source media station for randoms to use.. It would be great to get some donations... works out nice.
Hey vade-
My guess is that the Department of Sanitation might be uncooperative
if someone was just to come up to them and ask to poke thru whatever they had collected.This is where an (ahem!) bona fide organization might be of
advantage. I think I have some contacts with Sanitation that might be of some use.This doesn't rule out the idea that someone could get to the
individuals that come to recycle before they get in Sanitation's hands...Anyway, might be an nice time to get together and meet with screw drivers and IC pullers...
Best,
