RE: charity .........
Soooooooooooooo ... ... everyone on here must be making loads of monay from some of the comments I've seen ,, ,, ,,, ,,,
.
As for my business it's off by 80% from 2008 .. .. .. I have been fortunate to have good friends, family and a few fantastic customers .. .. ..
.
This year I was finally able to break even ... ... and I was blessed to be able to gift a
used laptop to a local lady that has been out of work for almost 2 years and needs a computer at home so that she doesn't need to go to the library to apply for jobs online.
.
I am getting ready to gift another computer to a family that needs one for the children to be able to do thier homework on .. .. no it isn't a "gamer" as I was asked by the kids .. .. but it is good enough so that they can get thier homework done and Mom can look for a better job.. ...
.
To the point folks .. .. it didn't seem like a lot as these were old units taken in trade some time ago and nobody would pay a dime for them .. .. but to these folks .. .. it is a " God send" ... ...
.
Ask around .. .. churches , radio station dj's, local military bases [ these folks usually can't put two nickels together and need to use the bases computers to talk to their loved ones over seas ]
.
I'm sure that there a hundred or maybe even a thousand charities that can use a helping hand or refer you to a person who can use a bit of help .. .. just your service on their existing computer could be their Merry Christmas and Happy Holiday .. .. ..
.
All that I am trying to say is ... ... that even if you or your company is strapped this year you have something to give that few others can match
.
Oh **** ........ I just realized that I am preaching to the choir .. ... please excuse my ignorance .. ..
.
Thank you to all here that have helped me over the years .. ..
.
Merry Christmas , Happy Hanukka [sp] .. .. Happy Holidays .. ..

Sincerely yours
