Through
its Computers for
Learning program, the federal government has placed hundreds of
thousands of surplus computers in schools across the country on a
needs-first basis. In fiscal year 2000, the Defense Department alone
donated nearly $60 million in computers and peripherals. Schools
register and request equipment on the Computers for Learning web site,
and federal agencies match their surplus equipment to schools with
those needs. Most, but not all, of the available computers are
IBM-compatible PCs rather than computers made by Apple. Most of the
donated machines are older models- but as the government continues to
upgrade its computer systems, the number of surplus Pentium computers
will sharply increase. Computers and equipment are not refurbished by
the government before being shipped to schools, nor are they covered by
warranty. http://computersforlearning.gov/
