Good Show !
My mohter's church has a used computer action coming up
ina few months. I have 15 older working PCs from our business to
donate. All of them will get their harddrives wiped and then loaded
with Linux. These machines (mostly Socket "A", 800 MHz - 1.2 GHz, 256
meg memory) will do just fine for general office applications and
internet browsing. No Microsoft overkill here.
Totla cost for one of these machines...they usually auction off for
around $40.00.
