Aloha fellows.
I might (that is bold and underlined) be able to find some help with
storage. I may know some folks that have some temporary storage that
could be donated. How long of a timeframe are we talking about here? If
you can get the computers out within a month or two it may be doable.
On another note, if you are looking for publicity I am on a local tech
radio show on Wednesday evenings on KIPO FM 89.3 and I could help to get
the word out for you. I can't do it every week but once a month would be
okay. Maybe we could do a news story on you and what your goals are and
how to contact you, etc.
Thanks,
Don Mangiarelli
