(I am a disabled veteran, from the Desert Storm era). During the last 18 months, I have written many companies such as yours, seeking someone to help me obtain an updated computer. One that could use while attending college at home. Several of my school counselors said if I had a computer at home similar to what the school uses, I could work at my own speed and pace. I would more likely be able to retain what was taught in class, as well as learn how to use and incorporate programs into a business environment. I am learning about using computers in to days businesses. The school has a lab that I use, but sometimes my disabilities can't handle the pressures there. I realize it is difficult for companies to give things away when there's no profit in it. And asking for a whole computer system is even more difficult. So instead my inquiry was for parts to build a system. I was able to get almost all the parts I needed....Yesterday, I finally got a K6 CPU, but the promised Pentium motherboard never came. (still will need a video card too) I have a friend that will help me install the parts and get them working. Many other veterans I know don't ask once they have been turned down, but as one counselor said, I don't have much more to loose by asking. I would hope that someone will reply, even if you cannot help. I can send you a copy of a statement from Veteran Affairs verifying my disabilities if needed.
