ComputerBob

In my earlier blog entry, "Turn It Into Something Good," I mentioned that used, discarded Windows computers can be brought back to life with Linux. ComputerBob, a guy who Mepis and Debian forum members are familiar with, spearheads a project in Florida taking used computers, installing Linux on 'em, and giving them to women at a domestic shelter he volunteers at.

I've been fortunate enough to have developed a personal correspondence with ComputerBob over the past couple of years. The guy has helped me out a lot, and continues to be a great sorce of info on computer-related stuff. Check out his web site: http://www.computerbob.com/. He's dropping tech news and info in there on a daily basis, and he's been at if for years!
