Re: [PLUG] Monitor donations needed


At U Penn, it's a _lot_ of red tape for us to make donations to a
'random' group.  Instead, our working equipment is given to, iirc,
Digital Divide.

If you can get in touch with them (or Elemental - we use them for
tech trash pickups) it might work to ear mark some things, give them
to Digital Divide, who in turn gives them to BSoA.

Just a thought.
