Firstly I would like to thank everyone that has donated computer equipment and all those people who have helped out so far. The first stage of collecting equipment is now nearly finished and we had a fantastic response, so much so that I ran out of storage room. I would like to thank the SIPTU offices that allowed me to use their space last week and I would like to thank the Friary who are letting me use their hall at the moment. So far the essentials I have collected are as follows:
34 Computers, 39 Monitors, 35 Keyboards & 25 Mice
And extras such as:
23 Printers, 16 Scanners & 14 sets if speakers.
We have wiped and reinstalled software on 6 computers so far and hope to have another 6 done by the end of the weekend. During the week we intend doing 3 computers every evening so by the end of next week we will hopefully have about 25 computers that can then be donated to schools in the town.
For anyone who would like to help out if you have an hour to spare some evening it would be fantastic, just give me a call. Even if you have no experience with computers, they all need a good clean and polish!
Alternatively, we will be short mice so if you have €3.99 to spare, pop over to Tesco’s and buy one of their own brand mice, or, buy a ream of paper to donate. Also, if you have upgraded the RAM on your own PC, it would be great if you could pass along your old RAM card to us to make the units we have work quicker.
Again, thanks everyone,
John Ryan
