Re: Phil IT Expo Ex Deal

Bluepoint also has these activities where they solicit ancient
hardware for companies, refurbish them, put Linux on them, and donate
them to impoverished public schools.

Like I said, they're doing something very similar to what Michael
referred to. And they've been doing it for years. Hence if PLUG wants
to do something meaningful, one way to jump-start it would be to go to
them and find out where they can use the willing hands/minds that PLUG
has to offer.
