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.
