My wife and I have been talking about this ourselves. Not going as far as actually filing for (501), at least not in the immediate foreseeable future. But who knows what will happen. She used to work at a community center for a year or so and we had talked about giving the old computers I managed to snag to the community centers around town to give to the kids. Instead of me stockpiling the computers in my basement I should install Linux and give them the the community centers. Teach the kids a basics computer skills class or something. -- Tom Wilson Reg.
