We went over to Heather Eblen’s house last Sunday for lunch after the fellowship meeting on Sunday morning. Heather’s computer is on its last legs. It is about 13 years old and loaded with memory, but just does not have enough juice in the processor to run Windows XP. The IT department where I work throws away old computers they cannot use and that are not powerful enough to donate to schools. I asked them for one and they were happy to give it to me. I will load it up with Ubuntu Linux and get it onto their cable modem today and tomorrow. All Heather really does is email, websurfing, and letter writing. This will be great for that. She will have plenty of memory to everything she needs to do. Right now, I think there is 128 megabytes of memory, but I think she has 256 on her computer at home, so all I will have to do is trade the memory out and she will be off and running.
