The girls and I recently went to Kramden Institute to volunteer. Old computers are donated, often en masse when corporations upgrade their PC fleet, and the volunteers then clean them up and refurbish them for redistribution to kids that can’t read real good – err, I mean kids that have shown aptitude but have no computer at their home residence. I get to build computers?!? That’s supposed to be work?!? Sweet! And the girls got to learn about the difference between DDR and DDR2 memory, how to replace a PC power supply, and lots of other fun. They were pretty happy to have a couple PCs built out of scraps by the time we were done. Winning!
