Last night I was putting up a sign to go home sick, and someone from a local NP stopped by before I got out the door. They picked up four CRT monitors for their organization at no cost.

Two more Ubuntu workstations went out the door to a local non-profit group yesterday. Complete with mouse/monitor/keyboard at no charge. They were machines that were dropped off for recycling , because they were too slow. Additional memory, new OS(Linux) and they are plenty fast for web browsing and general office work. Thanks to all that have dropped off PC's. Helping someone work, is better than running it through a shredder.
