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.
