Call for salvaged hardware!

[Pete Lancashire]

Hello from a "foreigner",

Isn't there anything like http://www.freegeek.org/ in TO ?

Portland is like 1/10 the size of TO but at anyone time FreeGeek
PC's ready to donate to schools or non profits. At times they
have received 100's of identical PC's only 3 years old from
Gov't/Corporation in Portland.
