Apple Computer seemed to initiate the process of donating equipment to schools. Get a kid hooked on your hardware and software and as an adult that is what he wants at work. I know IBM sells hardware at cost or below to schools and am told schools will not accept donations of equipment that is unable to execute the newer OS out there in the marketplace. This does _not_ mean they are teaching the kids anything, only that their egos won't allow it. :-\ Charles.Angelich "DOS Ghost" Tech Website : http://www.undercoverdesign.com/dosghost/ Music,Photos,Stories,etc. Website : http://www.undercoverdesign.com/dosghost/faf/ Default Browser HomePage : http://www.undercoverdesign.com/dosghost/homepage.asp To unsubscribe from SURVPC send a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe SURVPC in the body of the message.
