Yeah, I figured something like this would have happened eventually; running a computer museum is pretty far out of Goodwill's charter. That is what happens when you give your old stuff to Goodwill; they sell it. Hopefully some of the cooler stuff gets back to the original owner, and there's always the proverbial "guy with deep pockets" but I would be disappointed had I been a donor or volunteer. It's sort of disappointing to see how the whole thing was handled.
