tkt8763-01: Donating Computers

["April Clark" <a75rc@hotmail.com>]

Personally,
I like the idea of donating computers to economically disadvantage schools.  
But, I also see a potential problem.  These schools should have or would 
need to have a technical support person.  The ideal would be to take the 
donated computers, clear the hard drive and re-configure the systems so that 
all of the computers in the school system would be compatible, but of 
course, this would take an hand technician.

As a teacher, having a computer to help figure grades or type a worksheet on 
would be extremely helpful and whether or not that computer is donated or 
new would probably not matter.

However, if your school district is attempting to network and go on-line 
then what type of computer and where that computer came from would probably 
matter.
