Hey Shawn,
I have always loved this concept. I am not sure how much time I could
invest in it...at least right now, but I definitely have an interest in it.
Likely have some kit that could be given in as well.

Has anyone looked into starting a FreeGeek in Calgary? It is a non-
profit running in over a dozen cities in North America that takes in
computers meant for recycle to rebuild into working computers
(salvaging working parts), and to provide computers for low income
people or other non profits.
From what I understand, the more established locations don't rely on
donation money anymore and are completely self sufficient. But the
actual startup is quite a daunting task due to the need for storage
space for donated computers.
