The originator of the notice of these computers being given away is 
being cc'd (Seth Duffey).  I'm not sure if he has contacts with schools. 
  My impression is Davis schools are rather entrenched with Microsoft 
and have too much money to be motivated to change due to cost savings. 
Schools in the surrounding area might be interested (Dixon, West Sac.). 
   Maybe the City of Davis itself would be interested in a thin client 
setup?  Then the computers wouldn't need to go anywhere!

I'm cc'ing vox-outreach to see if someone has idea or would like to step 
in here.

Chair, LUGOD
