Books tend to not get obsolete (except for some bleeding edge scientific ones but those are no schools books).
I still have a spare IIci motherboard, could use a case and a PS :;

Wonder how long those machines were sitting out in the weather, could be they rusted in the schools basement that had a water leak and they just dumped them in the field for disposal.

Did the school inscribe their name and ID # in the case plastics (hate that). One of my IIgs and both LC3's have school markings on them. What do schools do with the massive amount of old mac software they have anyway?

In my case, I find a bunch of it rotting in a cabinet in my high school. I figured since it was, and since probably nobody knew about it or had seen it in over 10 years, and since they were moving out of the building at the end of the year and it would have all been destroyed, I helped myself to it. It's now all sitting in a box in a spare room. I think I made the right choice.
