Hey... I don't know if this is out-of-bounds for this list, and,
if so, I apologize in advance, but...

I do some volunteer work for a local non profit organization,
The Suicide and Crisis Foundation of Santa Clara County, which
provides various forms of facilities and equipment for the local
suicide hotline.

They are presently in desperate need of 2 or 3 computers capable
of running a basic linux system with firefox at a reasonable
speed.  Something like a PII or PIII with enough memory (256M?)
would probably be sufficent -- any flat-panel monitors (even 15"
or 17") would also be appreciated.

I have given them two PCs, myself, that were gathering dust and
thought there might be others on the list in the same
situation...

AFAIK, donation would be tax-deductable at a "reasonable" price
for such a machine.

Thanks,
Lisa
