[wplug-plan] Re: [wplug] What do you guys thing?

[J Aaron Farr]

Another thought about presentations to make to schools would be about 
reusing older computers.  I know a lot of schools have older computers that 
they don't know what to do with.  Using linux can help them recycle and 
reuse older hardware rather than replacing everything.  I know Hempfield 
Area High School out in Westmoreland county is planning on replacing a 
couple hundred machines and doesn't even know what to do with the old ones.  
In fact, if we like the idea of making presentations to schools, down the 
road I might be able to see if Hempfield would like to listen sometime too.
