Our First Printer!

Caring Compy has recently received it's first printer donation from Kathy LaGalle of Orlando FL. It's an HP Deskjet that's in great shape. We already have a client who can benefit from this too! Jewels Reffner of Orlando, FL.

Kathy also donated a keyboard in equally good shape. Thank you Kathy for you generous donations.

Well hello little lappy!

Nicole Kelly of Orlando, FL has given Caring Compy an IBM Think in superb condition. Thank you Nicole for keeping it out of the landfill. We'll find a good use for it.

Motherboards, CD-ROMS, and Compies! Oh My!

Mike Buchanan of Ponikvar and Associates, Inc. recently donated some excellent hardware to Caring Compy. The donation consists of:

• Two motherboards
• Two fully functional tower
• Two CD-ROMs
• A video card
• A 21 inch CRT monitor
  

Thank you Mike for the donation and thank you Lauren Jones (also with Ponikvar and sister of Caring Compy president Chris Jones) for delivering it. Caring Compy will find good homes for them. We're glad to not see them go to waste.

Another Generous Donation

James McGrath, president of Intuitive Technologies in Orlando FL, has donated some much needed RAM and speakers from the needed items list. We very much appreciate your support for Caring Compy and we will put your donations to good use.

We'd like to give another thanks to Florida Creatives. James found us through them. Thanks again for the exposure.

A Generous Donation

Brian Ashe of Orlando has recently given Caring Compy a plethora of goodies. His donation includes power cables, USB cables, network cables, CD-ROMS and burners, and even security locks. It was just in time too, as we were running low on several of those items.

Thank you again for your donation and your involvement with Caring Compy.

More Love for Hope For All

Recently, Caring Compy received a donation from Steve Elmer of HTH Inc, a local magnetic car sign, screen-printing, and glass-etching company. They donated a single computer.

While that may not sound like much, there is something very special about this computer. It is powerful enough to be used as terminal server for the Hope Learning Center. This will enable the use of dozens of thin clients. That combined with the educational software set you can find only on Linux provides an efficient classroom environment that is scalable and easy to maintain.

Thanks again, Steve for your generosity.

Southeastern Data

Here at Caring Compy, we have a special place in our heart for older hardware, especially if the computers are super cute. The recycling center that we work with, Southeastern Data, has given us some original iMacs to work with. In return, we will be showing them how to give some of their other iMacs they have a surplus of new life by turning them into lightweight desktops or specialized media centers. This, of course, will involve installing a lightweight Linux desktop on them which runs very well.

Thank you Southeastern Data. Caring Compy loves what your business does and looks forward to working with you long into the future.
