New York Red Cross Needs Tech Help

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the something-we-can-do dept.

zosa writes: "The New York American Red Cross is in dire need of technology equipment and services. The field workers and sites have little, if any, means of communication and the central office is processing way too much on completely paper systems. Your help in acquiring these resources would be greatly appreciated." You can read more over at this page. Finally something that the average Slashdot reader can do to help.

  2. licenses?!? by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 1, Redundant

    I can't belive they have to ask for Office licenses, the least a huge software company like M$ can do is donate software. If GE can donate $10 million and Cisco $4 million, M$ can afford to do SOMETHING.

  3. Not to be MS bashing at a time like this... by MongooseCN · · Score: 0, Redundant

    ..and I know most people will take this as MS bashing. Has Bill Gates donated any money to the NYC effort? Amazon.com has taken in 3 million$ last time I checked from almost 100,000 people, surely Gates himself could spare more than that to help out with the effort.
