I can't go, because I have plans that afternoon... bummer.  I think I could be a big help, if we do this again.

I also think we should do glass repair for iphones, and put a sign out on broadway that says "teach yourself how to fix your iphone" and put an arrow upstairs.  I bought tools for sudoroom to do this, and we can buy some iphone glass.  


>We don't have a BEAR license, so we can't charge money for electronics or for fixing them, but we can teach people to fix electronics, and then recommend that they give donations.  We can also ask that people give us donations if they take computers, but that shouldn't be a requirement.  It should be on the honor system, and not be a way to dehumanize people. 


>One thing that doesn't compute for us having all these desktops is that we don't have monitors, or peripherals for them, and just like with the rPis email I sent, the cost for someone to buy that stuff, isn't really practical in my opinion, unless we can track down crates of old lcd monitors. 


>There is also a cost of electricity for running an older computer for us and for other people, and to the environment, when some of that stuff is recyclable(although I don't know what the dust to dust is on that, so I'm not sure recycling is the only issue, but old laptops are low-power, and more ideal for our donation-cycle).
