Another meeting suggestion:
How about a kit swap meet? Everyone brings their old junk they want to get rid of for free and we bring some install CDs too perhaps and either we just swap junk or we combine it up to build full machines that we can then give to charity or people can take away?
A propos: What's a good way to give old kit away to charity?
Computer "recycling" firms simply strip the kit for the metals, etc. (and this mainly takes place on the other side of the world).
The few East Anglia IT charity firms I've checked seem to insist on a min spec of working PC with Windows installed ...
If one has working kit (even an old CP/M box) then it would be nice to know that it could be passed on to someone who would get use and education out of it.
Thanks, Ted.
