donating old computers in Boston?

Yes, South End Technology Center provides free refurbished computers and 
computer training classes to mostly low income folks in Boston.  The 
Ubuntu MA Team works with them on the Linux technology.

In Providence there is a FreeGeek www.freegeekpvd.org <www.freegeekpvd.org/>
