Does someone in Santa Barbara have a cheap computer to loan/sell for a good cause? Or even someone in Santa Cruz-San Jose area, and I'll get it down to Santa Barbara... My ex-girlfriend wants to start a non-profit organization, helping foreign college students come here and stay with host families and learn English, and helping American college students do the same abroad. She has a master's degree in ESL and has taught in Europe and here for many years. Apparantly the organizations that do the above are either for high school students, or for-profit and overpriced. Internet access would help her out so much. But she is a single mom and 40 and can't afford to spend much on a computer. I had an old 286, but I gave it to a neighbor. Could someone loan/sell her a machine capable of running Windows and NetCruiser (so that she doesn't have to learn UNIX)? Or any computer, I'll loan her a book on UNIX. -- "Why my thoughts are my own, when they are in, but when they are out they are another's." - Susannah Martin, hanged for witchcraft, 1692 Thomas David Kehoe kehoe@netcom.com Casa Futura Technologies Ask me about treatments for STUTTERING and other speech disorders.
