<p>Thanks Willy! :o) I tried to put in an ascii art thing where it's characters but they didn't line up right so I had to use an image. It's a geeky old school thing from before there were as much emoticons and graphical elements in computing.</p>

<p>Hey there,</p>
<p></p>
<p>Thanks for the response from the both of you. Coffee would be great! Yes, this forum is wonderful.</p>
<p></p>
<p>Jennifer I just thought of something I could donate as well - an android tablet that does not have enough internal storage for my needs. Somebody who only needs a few apps may be able to use it, even if it is just for playing around. Sometimes kids love to tinker with things. Also I have a pc with linux on it.</p>

<p></p>
<p>One thing that I thought of to add to the list of interesting community based organizations would be <a href="http://www.freegeek.org/" target="_blank">free geek</a>. Years ago I won a $400 ticket to <a href="http://events.linuxfoundation.org/events/linuxcon-north-america" target="_blank">linuxcon</a> on twitter and flew out to Portland Oregon for that event. I'm not a linux programmer or developer, so it was way out of my league but an interesting experience. During my time there I was able to visit the free geek in Portland which was cool. Free Geek recycles computers, installs linux on them and donates these laptops and PCs to the needy. They also have a monthly free PC repair clinic. Free Geek's motto is "Helping the needy get nerdy", lol!</p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p>In a nutshell, linux is a free and <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open-source_model" target="_blank">open source</a> computer operating system built and maintained by a community of geeky developers all over the world. Anyone who has an android smartphone or tablet is running linux, as the android OS is built upon it. </p>
<p></p>
<p>Something I love to do is snag computers that people throw away, install linux on them and give them away. Setting up a free geek in a town would require a lot of overhead, but giving away computers doesn't. </p>

<p>Susan, thanks for joining and we hope you can lend your voice to the local community here in your listening tour. We treasure folks as you claim to be and Jennifer, who think outside the box and do not blindly follow the dogma of the oft-corrupt conventional community leaders.</p>
