Scrounge: 12 USB Mice and Keyboards

by Dave Sampson (Exec Dir)

Hey Folks, We had a good session last night. We got 8 systems together and out of storage. To fill the order for Heritage Academy we need to scrounge together 12 USB Mice and Keyboards. So take a few moments to look through your storage, ask you neighbors and friends. If you don't have any then consider a financial donation so we can go purchase some. PS2 mice are useful too. Please pledge your finds on this thread and we will arrange the rest. Happy scrounging Cheers HTTP://computersforcommunities.ca
