I've seen Free Geek mentioned many times on this list and it finally sunk
into the grey-matter that this is exactly what we need up here in the
Coeur d'Alene, ID and Spokane, WA area.
We've had several discussions at our user group ( North Idaho Linux
Users Group -- NILUG ) about recycling computers. I saw on the about
page that Free Geek does Oregon and the World :-) so I'm wondering if
there is anyway we can cooperate.
I have a garage sale planned for this spring ( going to be advertised
as "Guy Stuff" ) with the proceeds going to a local non-profit /
not-for-profit I provide other support to (North Idaho Communities ONline
- nicon.org ). This will work for a one off but there is a lot of old
semi-usable computers floating around here that could use a more permanent
process.
So I'm looking for any suggestions.
