Greetings LugNetters!
Thank you for your richly varied responses and encouragement! I should have an
address in the US (Washington DC) and even one in Australia (!) within 24
hours. I would be grateful if my original correspondence could be cross-posted
(without being accused of spamming :-)) to some highschool networks in your
countries, to see whether these schools could be encouraged to collect Lego on
our behalf. Although, in seeing some of the reactions, I may be tempting some
of you to hold back on some of it <grin>...
I will also keep you posted on how this progresses from time to time, and I'll
certainly let you know when the first lego/computer container leaves the first
world. Older generation computers are also very welcome, but we do insist on
486DX as a minimum standard, since it reduces our overall cost of refurbishment
viz-a-viz much cheaper PCI standard ram, network cards and other bits and pieces
(older ISA standard is verrry expensive).
I will let you know where older computers, colour monitors, keyboards and mice
can be delivered - there is a good chance that the US Department of Defence will
collaborate on these shipments, so maybe even the Pentagon can become a shipping
address! <grin>
More later, and a HUGE Thank You!
Best regards
