Hello Jacque French, I understand that the Community HeroCard (www.communityherocard.com) is ending a grant on Sept 30 2003 with Hennepin County. They have (had) about 10 - 15 computers a couple weeks ago.
The PC must be invoiced on or before Sept 30 is my understanding to be covered by the Grant. Non Profit Organizations who get a grant PC are required to participate in the HeroCard program. I believe internet connectivity for up to a year was included at one point in the grant process for Organisations that did not have it. Apple equipment, printers, accessories, virus software etc are not included. I have forwarded your contact information too Deb and Jeanie. Deb Green, CHC Data, Inc., [EMAIL PROTECTED] Jeanie Cunningham , Hennepin County , [EMAIL PROTECTED] So basically this is a single New PC, Intel 4 with 256M RAM (unfortunately the Grant guidelines do not permit good used equipment.) It would certainly be possible for an organization with multiple service points to request more then one PC (i.e. foodshelves, shelters, etc.) The operating system is matched (best case) to the environment PC is in but generally expect the pro versions of Windows 98, Windows 2000 Pro, Windows XP Pro. Office XP included (Not Access.) Standard 17 in monitor. Windows ME and XP Home editions are avoided. Anyway when they are spoken for they are gone. The other thing is that I set them up, which generally means other PC problems are identified and go away in the rollout of a HeroCard PC :> Regards Richard Stein (longtime HeroCard volunteer) [EMAIL PROTECTED] -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, September 15, 2003 12:00 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Nonprofit_tech_talk digest, Vol 1 #628 - 1 msg Send Nonprofit_tech_talk mailing list submissions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit http://www.communityforum.net/mailman/listinfo/nonprofit_tech_talk or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to [EMAIL PROTECTED] You can reach the person managing the list at [EMAIL PROTECTED] When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific than "Re: Contents of Nonprofit_tech_talk digest..."
