Computers are donated and refurbished by local middle and high school kids who also earn a computer for the time they put in. We have recently been successful getting a local ISP to offer free access to our participants. We are working out the details as to whether it will be free for a limited time and then they will be offered a discount. In any case, it is good PR for the ISP and opens a pool of potential new customers down the line. It's worth a try if you have an ISP that is local to your community, Jessica Fitzpatrick At 09:25 AM 11/29/2000 -0500, you wrote: >"Lee, Jennifer" wrote: > > > > We are in the process of re-designing our web site.
