I need some suggestion of what I can do with my 5 old PCs(133MH,16MB or 32M RAM , 859MB Disk).
Thanks a lot

Leon, I'm glad you asked... <start charity opportunity message> :-) You may have read in a recent Boston Globe about Sudanese teenagers who are being hosted by an organization in the US. (Forgive this and future vagueness -- my wife has more accurate info.) These are kids who have grown up without home or family, roaming in groups of kids around Africa. To make a long story short, some of these kids are here in MA and are in homes, some of which do not have computers. These kids need some computers to do their homework. Clearly, these kids are NOT techno-geeks, so Linux is probably not a good thing for them to start with. (I hate windows too, but these kids need something that is "standard" for school work.) If anyone in WLUG can cook up a Win95 or Win98 machine, I'll work to get it to the right place. Thanks, Bill Mills-Curran 508 836-3160 (home)
