RE: Model 620 for sale -- MIDRANGE-L

Donating it is a fine idea, but IBM's partner in education program can
get a school (with a business partner's assistance) a new box fairly
cheaply. 

Of course, the school would need to get OS/400 and the licensed programs
they need - they can get that at 50% off I believe.
