> At present, the IT centre has just 7 machines and space for

> needing to find possible donors of computer hardware. You
> probably receive such beggars all the time, so this request
> may also be for ideas on obtaining equipment. Shipping

> organisations for donations, but if there are possibilities
> through the indymedia network, we'll gladly comply with
> whatever processes are in place and answer queries.

> Thanks pre-emptively.
