Hi, I would like you to have a look at my projects. Summarized : I collect written off Apple computers and use them for educational purposes abroad. It's a privately funded initiative.

I initiated these project about two years ago and it has been growing steadily. I have sent about 120 iMac G3's already, theyre decent, but because of their age and (therefore) shorter lifespan my minimum requirements are now G4 processor with firewire and USB ports. (last week I collected about 41 Powermacs) New projects are in progress.


Map of current activities

And this is my website that I translated to English recently. Because I am alone I don't have time to spend on html, iWeb is therefore a really welcome tool. Templates are the future for small entrepreneurs. My English is not that wonderful so if you spot really odd sentences let me know

Yeah, this is a great incentive, the only thing is that the website that you linked to is not in English!
