   Hi all,

   Thanks to Kevin

   After formatting I handed my husband’s old MacBook Pro over to Kevin
   who will magic it into new life! Hooray!  Someone will be able tu have
   a computer who would otherwise do without.

   Ruari Jack’s 2013 computer will live again.

   The computer was half full when checked but said it was out of memory.
   And wouldn’t even empty its recycle bin.

   Être Check said hard drive failing…and that it was obsolete!  Even
   another re-format wasn’t going to fix it! Time for a new computer!

   Now he is the proud owner of a new MacBook Air, it arrived for days
   early!

   Once again, thanks to WAMUG and it’s experts!

   Cheers

   Rosemary Spark

Rosemary,

I am the guy who has restored lots of Macs and given them away to needy people 
and students.

Getting a bit old @ 82+ but still working.  I would welcome the chance to 
restore it for someone else.

[WAMUG] Repurposing computer?

2022-08-14 Thread Rosemary Spark via WAMUG

   Hi there,

   There used to be an organisation re-purposing computers. Do they still
   exist? My husband’s old 9 years MacBook Pro has been replaced because
   the hard drive has failed. Someone with the skills could replace that.
   Does anyone know whether the organisation still exists? And how to
   contact them?

   Thanks

   Rosemary Spark
