I don't run that aspect of things, so I wouldn't know. I just [think I] know that once fully depreciated, the stuff has a book value of $0 and so that's all the tax break you'd get donating it someplace. As mentioned, we just gave a truck load of stuff to a guy who said he was taking it to the community college (and I knew/trusted him) for lab use, no questions asked, and no expectation of any tax benefit. I figured we were just delaying that gear going to the landfil. Most of this stuff isn't worth (current market value) what it would cost to ship if we could find a buyer. The worst in that respect is our pair of cisco AS5814s. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Jon Lewis | I route Senior Network Engineer | therefore you are Atlantic Net | _________ http://www.lewis.org/~jlewis/pgp for PGP public key_________ _______________________________________________ "Eat sushi frequently". - Avi [email protected] is the human contact address.
