Hello, Would you be able to donate a MacPlus (or better) and/or a small Mac Hard Disk Drive and/or a Mac Printer to a good cause? Here's the story: I am working in the university for a group that helps out various manufacturing companies within the Pittsburgh area. Our group transfers technology to these companies so that they will have a fighting chance within the U.S.A. and internationally. We do anything from a study to the full implementation of a project for these companies. Our boss actually linked us up with one company that we made a study for free because of the companies set up and situation. It is headed by one super fantastic sweet man who is handicapped and wants to help the handicapped population work. The employees (usually about 15 to 30) of the company are mostly handicapped both mentally and physically and they work with assembling mostly childs toys. This company has been around for about 2 years now and has many problems for its future existence. One of the major problems is the manager has no time especially because he does not have a computer. He doesn't really know computers at all but would be super greatful if they would free him the massive amounts of time that he wastes with manually logging people's hours, manually tallying up paychecks, following projects both past and present through his memory ... The requirements would really be a simple user friendly interface to a spreadsheet system and a printer so that everything could be printed out. That's where this post comes in. Unfortunately our group can not fund this, being at a university with limited funding and all.If you or anyone that you know have one of the devices or something comparable the company would be greatful. Or if you have any ideas of what we could do to solve this situation it would be very appreciated. If you're interested I can send you information that you need. thank you very, very much in advance Gordon
