Good for you Epicure. Put an ad in the Contras Costa Times for the computers--give some business a write off before the end of the year.

"Now if I can just get the grant to get computers to loan out to my poor students who don't have computers at home my life will be complete."

I have a couple of suggestions for you. The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. They actively seek out ways to spend their and Buffet's billions to make the world a better place.

I myself am trying to think of an idea that will excite them, and give me a new career doing good.

Another idea is to go with Google Chromebooks. They just do internet, but won't that do it? They cost about $250.
