Hi Everyone,
I messed up on that lasg blog inserting a picture and it seems to be gone. It doesn't seem to want to let me copy and paste the picture in this blog, even dragging it into blog didn't work and lost everything. I haven't been on contact as I have been very ill the last week. We do have two really nice custom used machines ready to go here, and homes for them.
Things in the support groups have been a bit roungh in the cancer group as we have some people there in really bad shape. We all try to keep a possitive attitude and take it all one day at a time in there. Its hard to stay detatched from them and you often become very close to them. sometimes you lose them and at that point you just have to be thankful that you did have time with them.
The computer project has added excitement to the room cause even though all these people are not at their best, they are apart of something of their own helping others, and of course helping each other. Its funny how a little project like this will booste the morale of a group so much. We have been donating between 25 and 30 computers per year, and while thats nothing compared to what the big guys can do we do help people that have no other way to get a computer that is up to date and secure. We deliver them fully loaded and ready to use, just put in email address and connect to internet and they are off and running with almost 100% free software, the exception being the operating system if we use windows. We are starting to use Linux Ubuntu also, it will be interesting to see how people do with it. Its not real hard and already set up it will do a great job for them. Most of the time its Windows xp or Windows 2000 pro.
Well I have to get back to the group all, be sure to let root know if you have any parts or anything that you would like to donate to our computer donation program so he can get my my shipping information.
have a great day everyone,
