On Thursday, Al and I spent all day working on computers in one of the computer labs. The Korean government has a program called "The Love PC." They donate old computers to other countries "to bridge the digital divide." They sent 300 machines to ASYV.
Unfortunately, they are rather old and challenging to set up well. Most of them only have 1GB of RAM, and some are as slow as 1.7GHz Celerons. Very few have DVD drives, and most won't boot off of USB. So installing Windows 7 is very difficult. It's still good to have them, however, as they paid for transportation. Even if we had 100 brand new PCs available in the United States, getting them here would be incredibly expensive.
