Alex, these PCs i'm trying to get together would be public workstations for use
in the space, applications include electronics design and simulation,
integrated devoloping environment for use with Arduino and Rasberry Pi kits,
research and communication, treasurer and secretary official business,
advancement of Bethany's Hacker Scouts program she's putting together, practice
PCs for hackers studying the A+ certification book in our library...
possibilities are endless, Torrie also had some suggestions. If needed we can
