[NPMUG] Goodwill CRC update, November 6

[Robert A. Donaldson]

Dear Mac friends:

Many thanks to Charlie Hutchens, Rich Fitzgibbon, John Hamill, Tucker  
Trainor, and Dave Sevick for joining me at the Goodwill Computer  
Recycling Center today.

We are now plumbing the depths of Goodwill's basement storage area  
where our remaining stock of Macs waiting refurbishment are stored.  
These Macs were the ones we brought with us when we moved from  
Goodwill's former location in Lawrenceville.

These Macs are not nearly as fine specimens as the ones we recently  
completed donated by the Keystone Oaks School District. Today we  
refurbished 13 Macs, de-manufactured 11 others, and re-imaged 2 from  
store returns. Our all-time total is now 2,252.

We're still seeking USB keyboards and mice. For example, seven Macs  
came to Goodwill this week from donations, but only three keyboards  
and three mice accompanied them. Please mention this to anyone you  
can. This will be a continuing limitation for us in the coming months.

The construction on Carson St. at the Goodwill building is in its  
final stages. Work is now being done to rebuild the sidewalk along  
Carson St., closing the ComputerWorks store normal entrance. There is  
a temporary entrance on the South 26th St. side of the building near  
the front corner. Look for the red door.

We will have another workday next Friday, November 13. We will not be  
working on Friday, November 27, the day after Thanksgiving.

Hope to see you there!
