[cwelug] Re: 20-30 G3 iMacs

[Robert & Janet Bennett]

Friends: My church, Webster Hills United Methodist Church, is seeking donated computers to set up a computer lab in the church.  If these units will already be going to City Museum, fine.  If they still need a home, I would be glad to coordinate the donation. Best Regards, Robert Bennett Don: City Museum. The ultimate goal isn't actually a wall, but a dome. We're planning on filling the dome on top of the roof (minus the first 13') with monitors & computers. iMacs would certainly be more convenient, since they're all in one. Robert: Possibly Rebecca Shelby <rebe...@swmd.net> might know of someone. I've had a few extensive discussions with her, and she's connected to a lot of people either wanting things or trying to get rid of them. They (swmd) issue grants to interesting projects involving recycling, such as http://stlouisteachersrecycle.homestead.com/ among other things. Speaking of which, Bworks could conceivably get some grant money from them for your computer recycling efforts.

We should forward this conversation over to one of them. Which museum? I'd certainly like to get in on it a little. And I might be able to find a few more iMacs to add to the project. --Don Ellis On Thu, Jan 8, 2009 at 3:22 PM, Robert Citek <robert.ci...@gmail.com> wrote: On Thu, Jan 8, 2009 at 3:16 PM, Scott Kokotovitch <kokotovi...@gmail.com> wrote: Another thing to consider is that the few I've tried to repurpose had flakey cd drives. They'd usually fail during an attempted BSD install due to read errors. On the ones I've worked I was able to easily access the hard drive and RAM. So, one way to setup a bunch of these would be to install one and then clone the rest. If the timing were different, I might try to take them off your hands for the museum, but we're all tied up in a million other projects, and I don't think another project can fit in my brain at the moment. I hear ya. Know of anyone else that might be interested?
