[nmglug] recycling

[troy banther]

It would be great if I could find someone willing to donate older 300 to
800 MHz, but Linux compatible, laptops to the ABE program I work with.
We have remote sites in the outlying rural areas we could send a unit
and instructor with.

The institution, Clovis Community College, of which I am an employee,
has provided the grant-funded ABE program located in the Center for
Student Success, where I was assigned five years ago and still located,
a lot of nice equipment. The Center is still lacking in two areas:
laptops for instructors going to the rural areas and one single large
LCD flat-screen monitor for highly dedicated but visually-impaired
student. We have Zoom-Text but is only works half the time since some
programs will not accept its manipulation.

I am not a director. I am just a network supervisor and computer support
specialist for this area. So I am not in the dip on where such resources
are or how to ask for such things.

Here is a picture of the Linux-based server sharing to the TABE Testing
(Redmond) machines.
