Dear Joan: I am addressing this openly because it may inspire others to good deeds which always gratify. This is a most worthwhile endeavor for any chapter of the Parkinson community. We were fortunate in that we had a PC person in house who had access to usable surplussed computers. So! First you need someone who has contact or access to a large company or agency that is ready to replace their 'absolete' computers. Inquire as to whether they might wish to donate those PC's to a non profit organization like NPF; then take them in and store them safely. Get your PC person to check out each instrument to insure usefulness. Then place and install them in the homes of your designation for people in need. Michel
