[vox] [fwd] 1,000 Used Computers Needed for Hurricane Relief; Other Tech Relief Projects

["DrBen" Timmons]

Hi Folks:

My next step is to try to contact Nancy Jo in Baton Rouge and get her 
final wants and instructions.  It is no doubt we can pull something off 
but I want to make sure what we send there is used and not dumped -- a 
lesson I learned 10 years ago.

It may take the weekend but I will definitely get back to you all as 
soon as I hear.
