Donations

I am NOT a not-for-profit or non-profit organization, I am just someone interested in various science projects and learning from them. I need a few odds and ends and hopefully they are collecting dust in your closets and If so please consider donating them to the Barlow Observatory. There are no TAX deductions to be had by donating anything though you may get a feeling of euphoria by doing so :-) If you have anything in the list below please send an email to make arrangements.

Needed Items for my science projects

Older Laptop with serial and parallel ports.
The AC adapter for that Laptop
Not needed but would be nice to have the operating disk to go with that laptop.
Lightning detector parts. I have most everything except one part (can't be more than a dollar?)

Things needed for personal use. This is a hint for the family members for what to get me for my Birthday and/or Christmas.
