in reply to (OT) Resources for unfunded computer clubs?

Hi Andrew_Levenson,

In addition to the great advice you have already been given you may want to check out your local FreeCycle group (you can also post a 'Wanted' ad asking for equipment you are interested in). My younger sister managed to get a nice G4 Mac (sans hard drive). Since you are young adults (note this is not supposed to sound patronising), if you are going to someone’s house to pick something up, make sure you always take an adult along. There is also DIY Parts, which may offer items you want in your area, or for the cost of shipping.

Hope this helps.

Martin

    I agree with the FreeCycle mention above. Also depending on your city there may be other places that would be willing to donate to your cause.
    Here in Boise there is a ComputerForKids program that gives kids, young adults, machines to be able to do all of thier school work or for projects as what you are saying!
    Where there is a will there is a way!

    I second the recommendation that you take an adult along when picking up parts. Unfortunately there are too many sickos in the world.
