Michael, you are to be congratulated for this. I'm trying to do something similar, as I'm good as mixing & matching old PC parts to make working systems, but it's hard to get them to the people who can use them. -- W . | ,. w , "Some people are alive only because \|/ \|/ it is illegal to kill them."

Contact Veterans groups, and local agencies that deal with the disabled. Also, your military when released from active duty so they can look for jobs. You can call local schools to find needy families. Give them to nursing homes, or just offer them on Freecycle or Craigs List if there is a local group. Older computers with limited memory and tiny hard drives will be going to a day care center where they kill a lot of Windows 95 computers. That is better than sending them to the landfill, and they don't need a good modem or network card. -- You can't have a sense of humor, if you have no sense! |
