Recycled Personal Computers

    Hi,

    I was wondering if anyone knows any groups that could make use of Personal Computers that are no longer required by the company that I work for.

    We have 100+ computers that are about 5/6 years old and are going to
    be thrown out in the next few weeks. These could be taken in either
    small batches or in large batches depending on the needs of interested
    groups. Please note we are not looking for any money for these
    Computers.

    The Computers are in excellent working condition, and have only been
    decommissioned as the company have a policy of replacing machines
    every 5 years.

    I am currently trying to find out if there is interest in this and
    then will have to put a proposal to my manager. I am fairly confident
    that I will get his support.

    Let me know if there are any groups you know that would be interested.

    Regards

    Frank

    Hi
    My Mother is part of a group of people who run a center for young people.
    It's completely voluntary, they are trying to get computers to run computer classes for the kids and these would be ideal if it's possible to get 10-12
    let me know how it goes - i just called and she's very interested.
    Many thanks

    I know someone who has set up a charity which reconditions computers and sends them out to equip schools in Africa (Zambia, I think)

    Gis a shout if it's not way too late...
