Re: tkt8763-01: Donated computers - good idea or bad? (fwd)

[Cheryl Leanne Freeman <clf2@ra.msstate.edu>]

I read the article about the New Millennium Classroom Act and I believe
this is a great revolution for school districts.  But I also believe that
this should be provided only for schools who need it not for the ones that
can offered to get them themselves.  I think the program Computers for
Schools that evaluates the status of the computers, fixing them if needed,
and then giving them to the schools, is a wonderful program.  

I do understand that corporations are doing this to benefit themselves by
gaining this astronomical tax cut but I believe that you can over look
that if you are helping children gain the experience and the opportunity
of the coming age of technology.
