Well, I've checked with my financial advisor ... and getting non-profit
status would be far more trouble than it's worth.  There's a lot of 
tax reporting and legal stuff that is required, which would probably 
far outstrip the benefits.  

In addition, I've heard that some folks have flagged MIDRANGE.COM 
contributions as educational expenses (like COMMON, books, conferences,
etc).  Of course, I'm not a CPA, so I cannot say for sure as to what
would be acceptable by the local taxing bodies.

I would like to point out, however, that monetary contributions are
not all that are accepted... if you have some older (but not necessarily
obsolete) hardware that is being retired, I would gladly take it 
off your hands.  That which I cannot use directly, would probably be
auctioned on eBay.
