Greetings Sluggers, Sorry for the tangetially off topic post but Computerbank Sydney requires your help. Yes, all of you!
After being lovingly and most spendidly shafted by another "community" group who had promised us storage space then informed us yesterday that sorry no we wouldn't be able to use it, we now have a LARGE number of pallets of computers and nowhere to put them. You can help in a number of ways. If you or your company or anyone you know or even your worst enemies might have some space they would be willing to donate to Computerbank so we can store these pallets temporarily you or they would have our undying gratitude. The only requirements are that it be in the Sydney area, be lockable and keeps the machines out of the weather. As free storage space in Sydney is at a premium the alternative is to contribute generously to the CBSydney Storage Fund which will enable us to get temporary commerical storage. Corporate donations of large checks graciously recieved as well as small donations from many individuals. For those of you who aren't aware of Computerbank and what we do we take donated computers (which is what these are) from Corporate entities and individuals and then refurbish them, Install free software (currently Debian GNU/Linux) and then give the computers away to community groups, schools, disadvanatged individuals etc. Anyone who wouldn't normally be able to really afford a computer. So please, it's a good cause and we're in a bit of a pickle at the moment so any help you or anyone you know can provide would be much appreciated. I can be reached for any questions at [EMAIL PROTECTED] or on 0410526200 at any time. Thanks in advance for your help.
