Hi All, I'm interested in getting involved with ByteWorks, and I thought I would introduce myself. I'm Jason Burke, and in the past I was involved with a similar project that I started called Linux Mentors. At that time, 2000 to 2003, I worked with the St. Louis Urban League and Lighthouse community outreach center to teach at-risk kids computer skills using open source software. As I'm sure most of you know, it's difficult to keep these types of projects running (the Urban League eventually received a grant from MS, so Linux was ousted there, and Lighthouse ended up closing down due to financial issues), so I applaud your efforts and success in keeping ByteWorks up and running.
Currently, I'm working on a project that may be of interest. I'm trying to find the cheapest, most effective way to upgrade old computers (and build new ones for educational organizations). At this point, I've found a new (all-in-one) motherboard that I'm testing that only costs $60 and delivers 1.5 GHz of computing power. I just ordered a DDR2 memory stick for it (for $23), so I'll be upgrading an old PC of mine this weekend, and performance testing a couple of different OSs on it. I'll be happy to share my findings on this if anyone is interested. Anyway, I'm hoping to stop by the shop on the 16th to take a look and meet everyone. Regards, Jason PS: The motherboard that I'm looking at can be found here: http://www.clubit.com/product_detail.cfm?itemno=A4842001
