Well I told you I could be wrong :P
Can 68K processors cope with the being "repurposed"?

No,
not so
Notre Dame will take Licorice allsoughts, the tech guys down there
really know there stuff, they usually repurpose these machines with
freebsd or netbsd or another *nix and ship them to E. Timor for
teaching and infrastructure
gifthorse, mouth!

Last I heard the Timor project had been flooded with older models
so have stepped up specifications to high end Power PC's and G3
models and above but I could be wrong
I heard there's an organisation in the education department who
bundle decommissioned Macs from all over WA and redistribute them
to less fortunate schools like rural or regional primary schools
by the pallet load as these schools don't have a great budget for
information technology resources and have low demand activities
for them

Hi Peter,
if you contact Notre Dame University in Freo, they support a
project in Timor called the Bagita center, where they can always
use extra machines to teach local people computing skills.
cheers

Hi everyone,
Well I've finally bitten the bullet!
I currently have about 100 -130 Mac computers, monitors and
printers (in my games room) that I was intending to set up as a
borrowing resource for students without computers. Unfortunately
as a Deputy Principal and looking after all of our network ( at
the moment) I just can't find the time to re image them etc.
I hate throwing out good computers that work so.....
I remember a group that were setting up computers for use in
Timor as well as the Computer Angels in Perth.
These computers range from the original Classics to 6400's. ( I
can still use iMacs on our network).
I'm particularly interested in the Timor idea as the older
models are more likely to be accepted.
Do any of you have any contact info for me?
thanks in advance.
