Perhaps. Alas, the IRS is apt to say the value of the donation is
no more than what you might obtain by selling the article in question
in a an appropriate market, and I don't know that there are a lot of
folks bidding up the pprice of PCjr keyboards....

Personally, I'm still regretting that I sold my Kaypro II (8 inch
diagonal monochrome display, two 80-Kilobyte floppy drives, 80-
kbytes memory, carrying handle) and all the CP/M software I'd
obtained to a coworker for 50 bucks back in 1987. Anyone out
there besides me remember using Anton Pleisch's WRITE -- the
Writer's Really Incredible Text Editor?
