    Default Christmas computers donations and help

    Hello and Happy Holidays

    This year my son and I will be fixing computers to give to kids for Christmas which will be ready for pick up on the 20th of december in our comunity.

    We are looking for donations of used computer hardware and help from volunteers to program the computers in your spare time. So if you can help in either way message me or call.

    Donations can be dropped off at 580 Wellington west or you can call for a pick up (time permiting)

    If your child needs a computer call and we will help. Please only call if you can,t afford one and it would benifit his or her learning. We will try to customize it to your childs needs

    I would like to say Thank You in advance to all donating or helping , and I will post the number of computers given and list of the people who helped on the 21st of december

    Are you taking anything computer wise? I have an old computer as well as I think I have some cards, hd's (not sure of the size or functionality), a few keyboards. I'm not sure what works though as its been sitting for awhile now and I cant remember. If you think they will help let me know and I'll come drop them off next time I'm in the area. I think this is a great idea.

    Just an observation,

    You may get a better response from the pubic if you chose an alias that didn't have sexual references or conjure up images of mid-30's and 40's cougars wearing way to tight pants.

    Also, I would refrain from selling computer components and/or running other initatives (IE Money for your broken laptop) through the same account. It would be way to easy for people to draw a connection between the two and not donate out of fear that their donation would be used for your personal financial gain. I'm not saying that this is what your doing, just trying to help you avoid any bad press for trying to do something good.

    On another note: While I don't have any spare computer components laying around at the moment, I could help with assembling/installing software on the machines. I have built quite a few computers in the past and am familiar with different form factors, system requirements, and upgrade paths. Let me know

    ok then the name i can see that but it's the name i have had on here for 4 or so years. but as for the other ad about cash for laptops, I am just going to do laptops in my business and i am giving me computers that i have left to children instead of selling off the stuff . as for people thinking im doing it for personal gain all i can say is 12 people who are getting system for free so far and hopefully i can help more.
