When replying to this email place "Digital Divide" in the subject line

I have obtained several (30+) computers and monitors (386/486) that are
in need of service, they are at my home (we are short keyboards and
mice). When the systems are in working order they will be given away.
You may have indicated an interest in getting inside of a box or helping
in some way. The repair of the systems will take place at my home on
weekends until our Habitat location is WIRED...  this is a technology
project for the CREW (inner city kids). I am searching for technicians
or adults that are willing to help me teach the CREW and supervise the
repairs at my home on weekends. My secondary objective is to get adults
involved in technology projects with the CREW. This is a request for
experienced technicians for short or long term (and parts). The systems
may be in need of drivers from the internet (we can do that).

I have a short list of adults that have voiced an interest in
participation in these projects. Any parts that can be contributed will
go toward moving these computers into the community and help bridge the
Digital Divide. I have 40+ names that want the systems. More people than
computers so far. (another request for donations)

I am going to get the Kids some Polo Shirts for there participation in
the volunteer projects. The shirts will have a Cyberdome LoGo not yet
designed A small donation will be requested for all services the Crew
performs. The donations will go toward rent, utilities and related costs
in our new building.  In the Habitat for Humanity  Building location.
Anyone can make a small donation.

If you are aware of  someone that may be interested in providing any
form of support have them Email me.
