[Discuss] Computer donations

[sronan at panix.com (Stephen Ronan)]

I assist several programs that make refurbished computers 
available to needy families living in Boston area housing 
developments. e.g., the Whittier Tenants Association and the 
Castle Square Tenants Association. We'd gladly accept computers 
of that nature, and we have never asked for subsequent 
fiscal support though in a small number of instances we check 
back to see if more computers have become available where that 
seems welcome.
We accept computers with or without operating systems.
