I write on behalf of a nor-profit, We The People of Philadelphia.
They provide direct service to folks living with AIDS or who are
HIV+.  They do wonders with little money and I took on the task of
seeking help on what we should do with 2 computers.  Should we upgrade,
how to do it and where?
 
Some basic computer info
 
Computer 1
386SX16
1 Meg Ram  (Dram)
180 HD
14,000 baud modem
external CD-ROM
Extras:
      486/33 CPU
      IBM memory expansion enhanced 386 (with 4 SIMs)
      I do not know if it's functioning
      I do not know if it's functioning
 
Computer use:
      Word processing
      light graphics
      online (internet, school and data base)
 
Computer 2
386SX (Pheonix?)
2 Megs Ram
small HD (size?)
2400 baud modem
 
Computer use:
     word processing
     personal money mgt
     data base mgt
 
Both have color mointors .28
 
What do you suggest?  Money is a concern!
Suggestions are welcome.
Where do we go to get the work done, I once installed a modem
but that's all.
 
Thanks for your help.
