Go down to your local public library or over to your local community
college. Almost all of the computers in these places are on T1 lines and
your taxes paid for them.

Great advise. The local library's computers have all the I/O ports
except the network card disabled, and only a couple of the older ones
were built with floppy drives. The ones at the new library don't have
any way to save files except to print them out. They charge 20 cents per
page to print out e-mail or other documents.

Yup--and it's the same for L.A. County and Orange County, CA.
I don't think Jim gets out much.
....or libraries in his locale are the exception.

Jim gets out all week to teach at the local community college where there
are five HUNDRED some computers, most with CDROM burners and available USB
ports.

If your local library is so wimpy, you've got elected representatives to
bitch to that can at least get you ONE machine is the building dedicated to
file download.

Been there, done that.

Its a liability issue. They don't want to be blamed or sued over the
way the free computers are used.

Hmm... you'd think the libraries would be concerned about the "dangerous
ideas" one might get from reading a book about... revolutions... capitalism...
communism... bomb building... anarchism... etc...

P.S. -- I've tried to e-mail you a couple of times now about donating PCs to
your cause but never did hear back.

You should know politicians better than that.

I apologize about your E-mails. One did make it through and I just
sent a reply.
