I’ve been reading accounts of the ALA conference in New Orleans, most particularly those that mention leaving the tourist quarter to learn a little something about that bitch Katrina.
One such account (I fear I’ve lost the link, sorry) mentioned these folks being one of the few bright spots in the Ninth Ward. On investigation, it appears they can use computer stuff, particularly Mac stuff.
David’s erstwhile workhorse G4 is still good enough for them, and I have other oddments on their wishlist that I’m not using, so I emailed them with a list (rather than risk sending items they can’t use). I had a polite, useful response in less than an hour. Today I wiped the machine, and within the week I hope to box it up and ship it off.
$DEITY knows it’s a little enough something, but I hope my fellow librarians and Macheads will consider doing likewise.
