Hi,

I don't know if anyone caught the bbc 10 oclock news last night the gov
unveiled it new plan for super IT schools and a school sent a tape in
showing the state of there IT dept. Most distressing was the room full of
old PCs donated and bought that were just sitting there doing nothing
bcause the school had no where to put them.  Volunteers anyone.

Peace Jim
