Well, it's summertime, and a lot of people are going to the beach this weekend. Sand, sun, bathing, what a nice way to spend Sunday!
Not so fast, chum! Roads choked with cars, overpriced snacks, sunburn, Microsoft kicking sand in your face, drowning, and shark-infested waters. I'm not kidding about "chum", fishbait! Save your life, and your loved ones! Drop them off at the park, and bring your computer to Linux Clinic on Sunday August 18, from 1 to 5 PM at Free Geek, 1731 SE 10th Ave, in Southeast Portland three blocks south of Hawthorne. We will help you build up your computer's Linux muscles. It will no longer be a 98 megabyte weakling. We've got distros, screens, mice, keyboards, wireless and wired internet, and Linux lifeguards who will help you rescue your machine. Stop worrying about how you look in a bathing suit; we'll have coffee, snacks, all sorts stuff to feed your inner nerd (and expand your outer one) while you surf the web instead of surfing the undertow. We promise we won't kick sand into your computer! Keith P.S. Ecobinary (www.ecobinary.com) in southeast Beaverton has half-a-dozen used Lenovo ThinkCentre A61e small form factor desktops, without hard disk, for $20 each. They also sell screens and keyboards and mice; I don't know if they have 3.5 inch SATA drives. You can also find stuff at the Free Geek Store, also open Friday and Saturday, both closed on Sunday.
