So Where Are These Free Computers?

Originally I had thought of asking friends, relatives and workmates. Or even going down to the local opportunity/thrift shop, offer my services fixing old computers and try to bag one as payment. But then a friend told me about Freecycle. A community of people vested in recycling. They offer used goods including computers for free to whoever wants them. You just arrange pick up. Click on the link and search for one in your area.



There are also lots of other places. For anyone looking in the U.S you should try craigslist. I Just did a search today and found tonnes of free computers and screens.



And I am sure that a Google search for free computers will find some thing appropriate for any one else. There are also initiatives all over the world that supply free computers to low income earners and third world countries. The Alameda County Computer Resource Center is a great group that supply computers free of charge and help third word countries by supplying computers to schools.
