NYCPHP Meetup

[Tony Bollino]

Hello!
I am a middle school technology teacher in Frederick, MD.  I saw your
message on NYPHP and was hoping that we could get a couple of those
computers.  I would arrange for transportation (shipping) of the computers
if you can give me a cost?  I am trying to run a LUG at my school and teach
basic PHP/MySQL to the students.  I am a beginner and I enjoy reading the
"tips" I find on this use group.  Please let me know if we can work
something out.

On the same subject, I used to teach network, security, and basic
programming classes to youths in the Bronx.  I have over two dozens of 486
CPUs (IBM and Compaq) not in use at the moment.  They are great for Linux.
If you are interested, please give me a buzz.
