Yes yes yes. One of the reasons it's hard to do things like run computer literacy classes is we don't have enough computers. They don't need to be fast. They just need to be able to run a web browser and a text editor, for the most part.

Hellos, here are the deets:

CONFIG:

Intel Atom CPU N450 @ 1.66GHz x 2

2GiB RAM

HD 243.9 GB

STATE
About five or so years old machines. -All of them need new keyboards, and about 4 of them need new displays.

REPAIR CO$T:
Some people won't mind typing on the keyboard holes, while we buy the keyboards, oh yeah, the cost. I ran a quick search and each keyboard is between 7-15 bucks each.

WHY?

The current owners don't like them, besides that they been vandalized (Users removed keyboard keys from all keyboards, and about three w smashed displays). Besides that they feel that they run too slow for the software they would like to use.

MY TAKE:
My take is that for Sudoroom they will be just fine. I brought one home to test and installed Ubuntu 14.4 LTS 32Bit (they may take 64Bit) and it is running fine while browsing, emailing, IRC-ing. :)

WHAT IS THE THING?

There are two thing, a) I cannot be the Sudo representative. b) The process usually takes about a month - two months to get it completed; so we can start getting the ball rolling next week.

Daniel

p.s. of course we should get it! :)
