[Klug-general] Old(ish) but useful PC

[Sue Casely]

Dear Mike

If you can't find a charity to take it, I would be interested in it. 
I have a spare keyboard, monitor and mouse, and Ubuntu discs.

I am doing an ECDL at college because I'm newish to computing and need
to learn a new skill so I can get back to work.  I used to be a nurse
but have a blood disease now so Nursing would be too strenuous now.  
We won't be able to escape Microsoft in the working world, but I'm
keen on experimenting with Linux.  I like the idea of its ethical base
and its security.

I live in Folkestone too.  Someone else here mentioned that they live
in Hawkinge?
