An Anonymous Coward writes "Out in Oakland, CA a group is taking donated PC's and breathing new life into them with Linux. They turn around and donate the computers to schools, build POVRAY render farms (with MOSIX) and generally promote Linux."
It takes a fair bit to impress me, but this article does. "ACCRC is a self-sustaining, self-funded organization that trains unemployed, unskilled volunteer workers how to build and maintain Linux computers" They must get their money from somewhere to be able to afford a 38,000 square foot complex. Good on them.
as does my inability to close italics properly :)
Incidentally, Johnathan and Alan show that nothing is too old or useless for us. if you have anything strange or odd that you don't know what to do with. Give it to us.

"We recently turned down donations of an aircraft carrier and a 727", says executive director James Burgett. "But we are ready to handle a 727 the next time one is offered."
C'mon, guys...we were this close to having the Linux Air Force!
"Roger, Blue Leader, this is Blue 6...I'm taking another pass at Redmond." "Stay on target, Blue 6, stay on target..."
Carousel is a lie!
Oh wait, I want M$ to try and fine someone for this, that way the potential donor can bring a harrassment suit and fraud case against them.
Hey, M$, look over here, I'm giving a computer away... please come and try something.
