Refurbishing PCs For Charity?
Used PC Guy asks: "I'm trying to run a program to recycle PCs for charity to give to underprivileged kids. Trouble is, these kids have never seen a PC. What should I teach the kids if they're about 14-21? Should I teach Windows, Linux or both? What hardware should I be requesting, and what's the best way to test the influx of hardware that's coming in quickly, efficiently and reliably to make sure won't need servicing within another 6 months?"
Third post!!!1!one! I already have bad karma.... :(
Whatever. I'm guessing you just don't want your pure, precious Linux tainted by colored hands. Isn't that right?
I can see a but any time by dropping my pants and looking at it in the mirror, thank you. Direct all further BS you have on the topic to /dev/null, OK? Nobody taught my kids a damn thing about Linux, they just watched and played and learned. Same way I learned computers BEFORE THERE EVER WAS A MICROSOFT. UNDERSTAND? MICROSOFT DIDN'T EXIST BEFORE. IT WAS NOT PRESENT AT GOD'S CREATION. Google "history of computers". Computers were not impossible without Microsoft. Ever. End of story. See my jornal, field guide..., bullet #2.
Man alive, what is that sweat breaking out on the brows of you Microsoft Shillboys whenever we dare to suggest that we bring Linux and a poor person together? What are you afraid of, huh? That that ghetto denizen might free up some of his/her copious time to read a book, take his time, learn something, and someday know more than you? Terrifying when the peasants get culture, isn't it, your Highness? It isn't long after that that they roll out the guillotine. Hmmm, yes, that pretty much explains it.
