It doesn't look like they repurpose computers here in the United States. With so many jobs going overseas these days, wouldn't it make sense to try to help out the underprivileged youth here in this country first, before shipping equipment outside the US? I have nothing against helping folks elsewhere in the world, but I think we should start here at home first. </opinion> Does anyone know of any local organizations taking donations to help American youth? -- scot _______________________________________________ TCLUG Mailing List - Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota http://www.mn-linux.org tclug-list at mn-linux.org https://mailman.real-time.com/mailman/listinfo/tclug-list
