I am curious about your inner city project. Are you trying to address the issues of digital divide similar to the Darien Dash (http://www.answers.com/topic/darien-dash) or is there a different reason. The reasons I ask is because I want to see what…

The tanking of the economy (no, I don't think the White House knows how bad things really are.) has shown that blind faith in large institutional systems is unwarranted and risky. Entrepreneurs will have to build trust from the ground up, and…

UW-Whitewater used to have SURPLUS computers that are still very good between the price of $70 and $100 each. I'm not sure if they still do that, but I can check if you like.

Many of my customers are people with low incomes. I sell refurbished Dell computers. With a monitor, they range from between $200 and $600.
I sell them with Ubuntu Linux, http://www.ubuntu.com/ , an operating system that is an alternative to…

I actually teach inner city kids financial literacy and most of them need computers! All of a sudden, I'm wondering if we might be able to obtain some quantities of used computers for our kids! (Note: we don't have money for that right…

I've created my own work by starting my Orange Computer business. I couldn't find a decent paying job, so I decided to create my own.
There are many opportunities in this down economy. I'm providing computer services…

- I am curious about your inner city project. Are you trying to address the issues of digital divide similar to the Darien Dash (http://www.answers.com/topic/darien-dash) or is there a different reason. The reasons I ask is because I want to see what your ultimate goal is which in turn will drive whether the project will fit under initiatives such as http://laptop.org/en/ or several others that exist. The other issue to consider is whether they need access to the internet, which opens a whole new set of possibilities and problems. Anyway I was just curious..sounds like a very cool project. Good luck.
