Scott, This sounds great. Of course, we can't do anything unilaterally for the school...we'd have to go through the proper channels to ensure that things are done in such a way as to be supported by the school's administration. You know how it is in any bureaucracy...especially DOE.
I'll get the ball rolling on this end by getting my wife and her school's tech guy interested...if things go well, we'll all drop by one day.

If you want to see some of the hundreds of computers or monitors that we at HOSEF has saved from the landfill and have waiting for your wife, please come on by. I cannot say that ours or any computer recycling program will fix our landfill problem, but every bit counts. With the help of the good folks at Pricebusters we have several thousand square feet of functioning stand alone and thin-client workstations. If you come by, and you can get your wife interested in one of our free classes or in spending some time with us at the workshop, we will give her as many stand-alone PII and PIII workstations as she can handle. Our only stipulation is that you or her spend some time with us getting familiar with the Linux Desktop. No technology is complete without training, and we try as hard to offer free training as we do to offer free computers. I have spent over 300 hours this year opening our workshop up to people like yourself who are ready to put the time in to learn more. Liholiho Elementary, The McKinley School for Adults, The Hawaii Agriculture Research Commission, Redemption Academy in Kailua, and St. John's all have functioning and free computers and printers that were once bound for the landfill and that are now serving these organizations and schools. As it stands, we have more computers than volunteers willing to help us give them away. Come down and check us out. We and our free machines are waiting on you. http://www.hosef.org --scott R.
