Ref: Our 'Ask Anything Saturday' TechMission-styled program at the cafe.
We are currently attempting to get the computer lab up and going again. We've received a donation of 3 computers from J&S Computer Assistance, and are reactivating our account with Techsoup in order to get software loaded on them.
The terms of the Microsoft software donation program through Techsoup have changed -
Donation Requirements
Eligible organizations may request up to six software titles and up to 50 user licenses per title, every two-year period. These items may be requested all together or spread across two requests.
Organizations may make two donation requests within a two-year period. An organization's first request initiates a two-year donation cycle. After the cycle has begun, an organization must wait one full year before making a second request. Subsequent requests may be placed at any time, so long as two years have elapsed since the organization's initial request in that donation cycle.

**************** Update needed, shortly -- Microsoft will NOT provide software to us thru Tech Soup as religious organization ***********
- Helpful link by David Szpunar (and the 'Charity' price-list)
- Here's the solution per Andrew Sears (TechMission).
- What about the possibility that it may be easier now to obtain donated computers... legitimately containing XP? Toss the computer if we need to, and transfer the license?
- Or the possibility of finding a nonprofit, say Virtual Scavengers, who might place computers on consignment at the cafe as we train folks and then gift them the pc in accordance with the VS program?
