I must say that I am simply overwhelmed by the whole Freegeeks concept.  
It is the Habitat For Humanity of the cyberworld, and I just wish I was 
more adept and proficient at both the hardware and software end of 
things, so that I could make a more substantial contribution to the 
whole enterprise.

Most people don't realize just how life-altering a modest computer and 
an internet connection can be for a kid starting out or a family on the 
margin.  Thanks to the work Freegeeks does, every motivated young person 
in the Portland metropolitan area has the opportunity to acquire his own 
computer.

When you think about it, it is simply amazing. You guys can't be thanked 
enough.
