I have this really cool neighbor, she was volunteer of the year 2 years in a row at one of the local elementry schools, and did not win a third time because the school hired her to manage volunteers/donations. She is a bit of a technophobe (all though she does want to learn) and has minimal experience with computers and the interenet. Her husband works at a local print shop, and with her meager income, they cannot afford a computer that can run anything current. I happend to come across a pile of Pentium 100 laptops (thanks Harry!), and thought "hrm". So I set up one of the laptops as an X terminal, gave the neighbor an account on the wifes Mandrake workstation, enabled xdmcp, wrote a few scripts to enable shutting the system down easily from X, and whatnot, and bam, I got a useable computer for the neighbor. It uses an Orinoco WavLan card, and I have one of the Lynksys AP on my desk. She was overjoyed when we gave it to her. :) Laptop (thru harry) $0 Orinoco WavLan $65 Open Source XTermnal Software $0 Configuring Setup $0 (hey I do this stuff for fun) Spreading Love and Linux Priceless
