I'm happy to say my winter cleaning give away was a success. Almost all of the books that were available have new owners (although they may still be waiting for them, since they were shipped at the book rate which can take forever), and my huge pile of computer equipment is also gone. I had a taker for the computer equipment within a day of posting it on my local Freecycle site. I thought he'd pick through the rubble, but he ended up taking the whole pile (including my Windows NT 3.51, NT 4.0, and Windows 2000 Resource Kits - those alone took up a full bookshelf).
There are a few books still available, if anyone is interested.
