Re: [GSLUG-general] Free Geek Seattle Workshop tomorrow (Monday 6:30pm - 9pm)

Hi Todd,

We have yet to receive any donations of working lcd monitors, so we will also accept donations of working crt monitors.
We need monitors for both Free Geek internal use & for volunteers who complete our build program, thus earning a home computer.

Size: lcd monitors of any size will do.  For crt monitors: 17 inch diagonal would be best, & 15 inch monitors will also work.  We are very limited on space for now, so we don't have room for a pallet of crts.  I'm guessing we only have room for about 4 17 inch or 15 inch crt monitors right now.  Andrew would have a better estimate of that than I.

Thanks for your input, & hope to see you in person, next month.

Cheers,
Elcaset

Elcaset,

People still need CRT monitors?  Was a little surprised as I thought these were of little/no value even in the surplus markets.  I was just at a goodwill in shoreline and saw a pallet full of crts Saturday.

If I happen to see any crts / lcds I will check on them.  Do you have any minimum size requirements?

I won't be able to make this meeting due to work but will try again in the future.

Everyone is welcome.  We meet on the 2nd Monday of each month to refurbish and recycle donated computer gear by installing GNU/Linux on the usable machines. Bring your surplus gear donations, energy and enthusiasm! We're short on monitors, so if you have working LCD & CRT monitors to donate, please bring them.
