When I lived in Austin TX, we had a user group out of the Goodwill 
Computer Outlet. This was the place were all the donated computers ended 
up (and were sold). It was a huge computer store. They started getting 
all kinds of old, strange computers. So they started putting them up 
against the walls and the place was surrounded by the "Computer museum".

I almost bought the Amiga 2000, but when I came back with money, it was 
in the "museum".
