TechSoup Event on Recycled Computers

[ggundrey at COMPUMENTOR.ORG]

Announcing TechSoup's <http://www.techsoup.org> latest online event, Recycled Computers: How to get Them, how to use 
them and how to get rid of them.

Does your organization need computers but you have no budget for them? Are 
you interested in ways to get recycled machines and how to use them? Do 
you  have a closet full of old machines you need to purge? According to 
the U.S. EPA, 580 million PCs will have been sold in the U.S. by 2005, and 
only 13  percent of those will be recycled.

Join us the week of January 26-30, 2004 in the TechSoup Community's 
Hardware Forum <http://www.techsoup.org/recyclingevent> as we explore the ins and outs of computer recycling.

Topics Include:
*How to get low or no cost computers
*Using recycled machines
*Getting rid of computer junk in a cheap and environmentally friendly 
matter
*Non-commercial computer recyclers and how they can best serve nonprofits
*Computers and the environment

The event will be hosted by Jim Lynch and Zachary Hedling of CompuMentor 
<http://www.compumentor.org/>.
