[Klug-general] Re: Free P3 PC (Colin_The_Technician)

[David Halliday]

I was about to jump to this saying "yes me.. me.. me..." then the
student in me backed down for a moment and i had time to remember that
where I work we may well be passing on/giving away (possibly in
exchange for a small donation to a charity) some P3 machines with
128MB ram with about 20Gb HDDs... Needless to say I'm not going to be
trying to get some of Colin's however I may well be making a similar
offer over the summer (so when the Kent LUG is next in Rochester I may
set things up to run some kind of install fest on P3 systems that you
can take home at the end of the event ;-). Oh and I'm sure if you get
a tower you can have a free CRT monitor... we have plenty spare (or
will do shortly).

Or I may keep the machines and use them to teach students how to (and
how easy it is to) install Linux etc... *evil anti M$ laugh*
