I asked a friend of mine Doug, (retired from here, Sysadm for the Red Cross)
what he specifically needed. Here's his reply, if anyone has machines or $$
to help him it would be appreciated. It seems timely and appropriate for
this discussion group.
Contact Doug directly if you have any questions on how or where to donate.

Dan, First let me say I am sorry for not answering this right away. I don't
use this mailbox anymore, but keep it and check it every week.
We really need computers that are network ready capable of running Windows
2000 or Windows xp. If a donation is in order, I pay 1,100 each for Dell
optiplex machines. This price is discounted by dell for us. If PCs are in
order, anything that is network ready, 300mhz or better, 128k ram, 10gb hard
drive, capable of running 2000 or xp.
I currently need to replace at least 10 machines. These users are currently
using PCs that are 90mhz and 100mhz with small amounts of memory and small
1gb hard drives. They work but are extremely slow. To completely update us
would require 15 PCs at least.
Make a note to change my Email address to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Thanks for thinking of us.

Subject: Red Cross Plea asks for Computers/Tech support
TechTV is reporting a plea from the Red Cross in NYC for computers and tech
support.
The info is here :

(URL may get wrapped)
I would also like to add my condolences to all who have lost friends an
loved ones in this tragedy. And my sympathy and best wishes to all who are
still waiting for news - I know what you are going through. My parents and
my sister live and work in Washington DC, and I have friends in NYC and
Manhatten. My family is fine, but I still haven't heard from any of the
people I know in NYC...
I live in Vancouver, Canada, and there's very little I can do from here -
but I'm sure that some of the people on this list may be able to answer the
appeal from the Red Cross for tech support - after all, it's what we do.
Regards,

PS - I thought this appeal was appropiate to this list (for anyone who might
ask).
