[K12OSN] Urgent Appeal

[norbert]

Hi Jason,

Have you tried either the Schoolnet organisation or reBoot Canada ? Both 
are non-profit organisations that recycle computers and donate, or 
charge a small fee for systems.
We work with reBoot Montreal to obtain some of the hardware used to 
setup K12LTSP labs in schools and community centres in Montreal.
