We have started a program called Tech Saturdays to image and distribute to
families in Harlem refurbished Mac and PC computers (see
http://www.thechildrensstorefront.org/ts if interested).
Several NYC Independent Schools have donated to us a number of the old
eMacs that were popular in the years 2001-2004. However, we have run out
of the wireless cards for these machines.
If there are schools around the country that are getting rid of these
machines (or already have them in a closet about to get rid of them)
please consider contacting me and donating the wireless cards to our
project ... thanks in advance ... the specific model is an eMac 700/800
MHz ... here is a funny picture from our basement ...

two of my students carrying one of these 50 pound machines (equal to
carrying 17 of the new Mac laptops)...

thanks in advance for any help you can give me ... it would be wonderful
if anyone has even a few of these wireless cards to ship me ... Steve
