[SoCoSA/discuss] LCD Monitors and a shameless plea for help...

[Christopher Wagner]

A nice gentleman just dropped off a wonderful 17" LCD monitor.  I'm 
using it to type this message right now.  Still looking for another one, 
but I wanted to thank the kind messenger for passing on the message.  
This will make a huge difference for us, helping us much more current 
with technology.

Thank you Ruth and Andrew, I will follow the leads you have given me.  I 
especially like the reference to the Alameda Computer Resource Center.  
I'm big on using Ubuntu here (we're still mostly Mac, though) so it fits 
very well with my ideas. :)

Best holiday wishes to all!

- Chris
