MacTreasures is an online retailer of hard to find Mac merchandise, and this new service is being offered free of charge to the Mac community.

All logistics are worked out between the school and the donator. Schools wishing to receive donations may send an e-mail to unusual@mactreasures.com, providing information on the school, its need for Macintosh computers and relevant contact information.
