RE: [MLUG] local computers for kids?

[Rick <EMAIL:PROTECTED>]

I'm envisioning something along the lines of a fairly simple web page
(donation form, where the machines went, etc...), possibly someone
contacting local businesses, and a few people scavenging/installing. I
don't think it would take much effort and I know for a fact I have at
least a full machine or two laying around that I'd donate to a family
that didn't have one. 

It doesn't take much to build a nice little web browsing/email machine
that a kid could use to research homework with and, even though it
wouldn't be much of a game machine, I know edubuntu comes a bunch of
low-impact educational games.

I just kind of assumed that this is the type of project someone else had
already started in this area. But, if not, I'll start putting it
together.

city's most infamous breakfast food into my maw. The tiny flakes snapped
and popped, like the fingers of a mob snitch after they found 'im. It
wasn't good cereal. But it was better than a gut fulla led."
