Hi Guys, Robert-Jan from Secondlife has started a petition against the ban on second hand computers.
You know, the machines you slap linux on and then they work for another few years. We, at mountbatten, started our hosting offering on a 10 year old machine, and it perfectly fitted our needs for the first few years. New, the machine would have costed us about 15.000USD. so, here is the petition. http://www.gopetition.com/petition/39694.html -- rgds, Reinier Battenberg Director Mountbatten Ltd. +256 758 801 749 www.mountbatten.net ---------- Forwarded Message ---------- Subject: [i-network] Revise the bill on importing used electronics in Uganda - Online Petition Date: Monday 11 October 2010, 22:04:00 From: "Robert-Jan Nieuwpoort" <[email protected]> To: "I-Network Uganda" <[email protected]> Dear I-Netters, I have creating an option to sign an petition on-line that can help us to change the ban of importing used electronics into Uganda. Please use the following link; http://www.gopetition.com/petition/39694.html Please understand that this bill does not protect the environment, but just eliminates the access to computers for individuals, schools and institutes who can not afford new computers. If we don't protest against this ban, we will have a big educational setback in Uganda. For more clarification about this ban check out this article; http://www.itnewsafrica.com/?p=6694 Please send this to all the people you know so we get as many people as possible to sign this petition. Thanks, Robert-Jan. -- ________________________ Visit the I-Network website - www.i-network.or.ug Follow I-Network on Twitter: http://twitter.com/inetwork The I-Network Dgroup is a platform for ICT Knowledge Sharing --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Visit [web site]( http://d2.dgroups.org/iicd/i-network/ ) Click [here]( mailto:[email protected] ) to unsubscribe The email is intended only for the recipients.
