Article about reviving old Macs using Linux on InfoWorld web site

[Phil Shapiro]

Hi refurbishers,

Earlier this week I wrote a short article (with screencast) explaining about reviving older Macs using Linux.

http://fossforce.com/2016/08/reviving-old-macs-using-linux/

The article I wrote, for FOSS Force, got a lot of attention on Reddit.com today -- and a reporter named Jim Lynch

at InfoWorld spun this into an article of his own.  

http://www.infoworld.com/article/3111966/linux/linux-breathes-new-life-into-old-mac-computers.html

   This is not our own beloved Jim Lynch, but a wonderful Jim Lynch in his own right.

       Anyway, in case anyone on this list would like to write an article about open source and refurbished computers,

Christine Hall, the publisher of FOSS Force, is very encouraging.  There is no compensation for the writing -- but as you can see,

there is the opportunity of having a wide readership for your writing.

Christine is reachable at "Christine Hall" <chri...@fossforce.com>

        Important note - Christine does not refer to articles on her web site as "blog posts."  These are published articles. 

I sometimes use those phrases interchangeably in other contexts, but on the FOSS Force web site I refer to articles, and not

blog posts.

                      Phil

Hello Phil:

We tried to connect for a phone call a couple of months back but something came up.  I'm still interested in speaking with you and sharing some of the things we are doing that I thing would be of interest.

Let me know when you have time.

Thanks,
