_______________________________________________Silver, I'm thinking that maybe a Raspberry Pi might be a good solution for you guys. They are quiet, low energy (so you can leave it on all the time), has wifi to connect to the web, cheap & expendable and should be sufficient to connect to Google Docs, which you folx are using for your inventory. If you would prefer a more conventional computer that would not be a problem. This one is low-energy, has 4GB of RAM & a SSD and should be adequate for your purposes.
Sierk, I left a Pi 3 in the Liberated Lens office behind the monitors above where Shirah's computer lived, but I didn't see it when I visited. Is it in one of the cabinets? If not, I think I have another somewhere in my house & if I can't find it, I have a couple of Android dongles that should suffice (Einstein & I are still living in the backyard because of his mobility issues at age 16.341121495327).

Hello Ed,Thank you for your kind offer in skills and setting up our inventory! Sorry just got back so late to this email and missed you today, (busy month lol). I work out of the Omni every Wednesday and Saturday and will coordinate a call following week if you happen to be free!

This is Ed (Ginormous is my preferred adjective, btw, Jake). I can come over and set you guys up with a low-powered Linux computer any time you like (within reason, mourning is an aptly named time of day).
If you used a cloud-based system (like Google Docs) for your inventory it won't matter if the computer is ripped off (which is very unlikely), your data will be safe & I can replace the machine, and if your data is stored locally I can set the machine up to back up your data to the sudoroom server.
My contact info is in my sig below, give me a call. I believe my first (and only) wife is going to drop me off at the Omni for a few hours Thursday afternoon (I'm a crummy driver and she has clients in that area) so I can do maintenance on the public computers, so give me a heads up and I can schlep over some hardware.

That sounds amazing. We will keep it locked to only our inventory screen so it’s easily accessible to volunteers! When can we get one installed? It’s spring/summer time and that’s when food not bomb gets an abundance of donations that often leads to waste because lack of record keeping! Hope this can bridge the gaps between waste and sharing surplus resources 😍

Hi Silver,
I'm sorry to not address your specific question but I want to offer the option
of an actual computer to be installed at the location of your choice, and
bolted down just to keep it from getting taken away. The computers upstairs
have been there for years without being taken so that should be fine.
I understand that you asked for a tablet, but it would be very easy for us
(sudoroom, and Big Ed specifically) to provide a computer for your needs, at
zero cost. And if it gets taken or broken we can just replace it, we have
plenty.
