Computer for a good kid...

[Tim Bogart]

Hi all,

Well, I still haven't found work, and I'm trying to help one of my neighbors 
out.

There's a young man living with his father four doors down from me.  He's going 
to ITT Tech tomorrow to see about getting in to one of their computer or IT 
programs.  He doesn't have a computer.  He can't buy one.  No money.  Times are 
hard.  He is staying with his father and his father is on disability and waiting 
for a kidney.  He goes to dialysis every week.  I told him (his father, Dean 
(the son's name is Isaac)) I would put this note out on the list and see if 
there was anybody who could donate a spare computer to his cause.  His father 
indicated that he already has Cox cable and could probably get basic internet 
service.  I told him that this was conditional that if it happened, the computer 
would come with Linux on it and that it was NOT to be replaced with Windows.  He 
has learned of my accomplishments and trusts my judgment.  I told him that he 
would learn a lot more about computers and programming with Linux than he would 
ever learn with Windows.  I've got him pumped about Linux.

Anyway, if anyone thinks they can help this young man, I'd like to hear from 
you.

Good on all y'all,

Tim B.
