Hi Charles,
 
Yes I'm still working at Volo Broadband to assist non-profits with creating public computer centers.  Please forward my information to the studio and we'll see how we can be of assistant.  Thanks.

Brian Bell of Parkland has teamed up with Peter Folk of Volo to refurbish older computers. I don't know if they still have that program running, but we can ask.

Hi, Barry,

I got a kind of strange phone call out of the blue this morning From Kathleen McGill (269)348-5795 ( tel:%28269%29348-5795 ).
( Kalamazoo MI mobile number) <Kathleen_McGill at hotmail.com> ( mailto:Kathleen_McGill at hotmail.com ) I kept hearing "Mahomet", so I thought it
was the town she was talking about, but later I think it must be a person.

Apparently there is a guy named Mohammed, who is attempting to outfit an artist's workspace,
possibly cooperative, called Studio 2C at 111 Walnut in Champaign, downstairs. He is looking for
someone to donate computers to Studio 2C for scanning and printing.

Kathleen said that Studio 2C is a 501(c)3 non-profit, so that donations are tax deductable.
I don't know if you can or would want to help them out at all. Do you still have a contact at Parkland IT who periodically donates computers to the Boy's & Girl's Club, etc?

I'm going to send her a follow-up, introductory e-mail, letting her know what I know about refurbished computers 
from the Makerspace on Craig's List. I'll let you know if I find out any more useful information.

Thanks,

-Stewart
