The office I work at will very likely be closing next month and
has up to 10 Celerons and up to 20 CRT monitors that might be up
for grabs. Is there an ETA on when a tax ID will be available?
The tax ID might make it easier to convince the company to donate
the equipment rather than ship them back to the mainland.

I am interested. Is there an URL for this effort?
