[PLUG] The Next Step? -- was Community Service Project (Devil's advocate)

[Paul <paul@dpagin.net>]

I'm thinking that this has already come to mind, but...as far as getting 
sponsers goes, would it help to have a laptop configured as a demo of 
what you wish to offer to the kids?

I guess it wound't hurt to show an example of the type of computers, if 
any, they currently have access to.  For example, on one side we have an 
obsolete Apple or M$ computer, and on the other side we have a sponsored 
PC running free, modern Open Source software.  While we ask for help 
paying for hardware, we offer the software and expertise to help the 
kids get the most out of the computers.

Is the rest just statistics?  Or could we offer real stories of kids who 
would benefit from this project?
