[Dailydrool] Computer for Rescue?

[Adelaide Dawes]

Chris,

Have you signed up for TechSoup.org?  Register with them and they often have
computers for just a nominal fee.  Also software.  They get donations from
the big companies and then distribute them to non-profits.

http://home.techsoup.org/pages/default.aspx

We got Microsoft Office 2007 Professional Plus for $20, Quickbooks Non
Profit Edition for $33 (there are sometimes minimum numbers you need to
order e.g. 5 MS Office licenses, so it actually cost us $100, but it was
enough to make sure that all our Board Members have the most up to date
software).

At the moment, I see the cheapest desktop computer (a refurbished Dell) for
$187.

Anyone know where a rescue can get a decent computer for a tiny spec of
money. Western Missouri Basset Rescue has been using the same computer since
1997 it is a Gateway 360 and it is making some aweful noises so we may need
to get another one in the near future. I got this one worked on a year ago
and it cost us $200.00 to get it fixed they said it had a virus and I needed
a new brain in it. I do not want to put that much into it again.
We had to take one of our fosters Luna to the vetman this morning at the
crack of dawn she was throwing up all night and it looked like red jello.
Scared the living daylights out of me first thing I thought was bloat. We
have been tremendously fortunate out of the 170 dogs we have rescued to
never have seen one with bloat so I had no idea what was wrog with her we
have her on an antibioticand pepcid and see how she is doing tomorrow. Our
rescue cannot afford a  bunch of costly tests so our vet always trys the
simple things first to keep our bill down. Send some drool Lunas way and
send some for our rescue computer too. It might help. I have to shut it off
again after this email it is skreeching like an owl.
