Computer: 500 MHz, 168MB, 8GB HDD, Operating system up to you. 17” Screen with speakers, mouse, and keyboard. 2USB 1 Ports

Free to peron/s that are having a tough time financially.

I would have to filter somehow that you are having a tough time financially so it would require some sort of proof, but providing this is met, I would be willing for this computer to go somewhere where it could be used in a good fashion.

I assume it’s possible the people reading this have a computer; you may want to consider that if you know someone who can’t afford one and would benefit from it to see they are interested.

Unfortunately there is only one, so I guess if the financial criteria meets it would be appropriate to find with x amount of resources the greater gain computable for its new home which I won’t define in a formula. A formula would be good but amount of things to consider is currently beyond the quantification of equipment offered for free.

Thank you,
Creighton Brown

I would seriously question someones morals if they criticize someone who tries to do something good.

In ideals there is tolerabality to acheive, if its good then you would place weight on the gain and not try and reduce it from achieving good.

To propose discouragement of good is more a means of that which is not to be good.

379090 2005-08-07 03:22:00 Hi Ninja. I think he just said, "Up yours." :rolleyes: Scouse (83)
379091 2005-08-07 03:25:00 I am unsubcribing from this thread, as I suspect ninja, in the face of what may be right wishes to argue stating it may not be right to try and help the poor, at a topological level saying it was unsound.

Anyone who wishes to discuss acquiring the computer may email me.

Thank you.

379092 2005-08-07 03:26:00 Hi CB, I'm finacially challenged and also challenged in other ways, which we don't really need to get into
My reasons for wanting a free computer from you, as long as you are willing to pay for shipping to wellington
1) free is cool
2) price of petrol has really hurt my wallet
3)everybody needs more then one, but wife won't let me have more then one
4) I actually understood your post
5) keep the kids off mine
It would be appreciated if you could include an OS and maybe a printer of some sought...
please PM me so I can give you my delivery address
thanks in advance

A friend of mine knows a family, father with major medical problems, therefore not working, kids at school etc etc. The teacher apparently sent one of the kids home with a note saying he was to have some kind of PC for homeowrk. My friend has been scouring TM dismally. I personally would speak to this teacher and ask her what was wrong with the library and why she thought PCs are some magic education thing even for poverty families. But I'll pass this to my friend anyway....
