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!
