I thought since this is Linux related that I would share.

I just discovered this little place in my town.

Excellent idea to spread the message of linux.

Nice advertisement.

Recycling is always a good thing, when ever possible.

This makes me smile a lot, and become very happy. The world would be a better place, if IT waste didn't go straight from factory --> consumer --> landfill in 2 years.

The main element of this is that one has to find a reasonable use for the older machines, gaming machines especially get outdated very fast, though they are still capable of many things, even really old computers with a few upgrades can perform most day to day task such as web browsing.

Went in there yesterday to volunteer and its a geeks dream! So I'm going to volunteer here about 4 hours a week. After 24 hours of volunteering you earn a computer for yourself. Also the computers they give to non-profits have Mepis linux installed. Very cool place!
