Bluepoint also has these activities where they solicit ancient hardware for companies, refurbish them, put Linux on them, and donate them to impoverished public schools.
Like I said, they're doing something very similar to what Michael referred to. And they've been doing it for years. Hence if PLUG wants to do something meaningful, one way to jump-start it would be to go to them and find out where they can use the willing hands/minds that PLUG has to offer.
