Hi All
My Church has two desktop PC's for the scrap heap so I've suggested we
offer them to someone who doesn't have a PC and would like to use one.
It seems a shame to dump them and would provide someone a start with
Linux and free software. One thing I will insist on is feedback from
the users and they must be of 'reduced means'. I'm sure there is someone
who would like a start with computing.
They are too slow for present church use but would make suitable
'starter PC's'.
I intend to put Linux on then with a range of free software
(Libreoffice, Digikam, Firefox & Thunderbird (with Lightning)); I hope
to provide basic training to get them started.
One problem is the PC's do not have any screens, so I'm looking for any
old small (12+")LCD screens.
Does anyone have a screen which they would donate to this project please.
The local recycle centre are not allowed to pass on electrical
equipment, so that's a no-goer this time round.
Peter M - With your links to the Library do you know if the council have
any old screens going free, from closures ect: possibly?
