My ComputerWorld article, "9 museums that want your legacy tech," looks at nine institutions that might — be sure to ask, don't just drop on their doorsteps after hours — want some of them. (Probably not everything you've got, alack.)

If only the poster had tried quoting the opening of the (my) article proper,
"Like the airbags in your car..." rather than offering an example not found
in the article.

Of course, I can't think of an ROI for airbags when they're not being deployed for
safety reasons. Arguably a full-sized spare tire might be value-recouped, by
putting it into your tire rotation, although that may not be as good an idea as it used to be.
