• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

For several years, I have made a hobby out of dumpster diving older computers and passing them on to people who can't afford them. Recently I came across a pile of Macs sitting on the roadside awaiting the garbage truck. By the time I got them loaded, I could barely see to drive.

I refurbished, cleaned and reloaded software on these (they all worked after a fashion) and called a local school to see if they knew of anyone in need. The Vice Principal called and said they had several students that could use them. Great!

Well, to make what could be a long story short, the lady called me on Friday past and said one of the recipients had received her first "A" grade ever and had designed and printed a thank you card for me.

Sometimes Christmas comes early. Funny how something small like that can make you feel so good! I only wish I had the technical skills to fix the non-working ones!
 
That's awesome! I've done pretty much the same thing with 'retired PCs' but have never gotten any feedback, so simply trust that they were appreciated. :engel016:
