Thanks for the Memory

By Ken Starks

“Locally, we have just finished up a HeliOS Project hardware
drive, and it went well. One of the unforeseen consequences of this
publicity was the added requests for computers to be installed. So
far, we have 109 requests. It is going to take us some time to see
how many of these qualify for a HeliOS computer but even if only
half qualify, we have our work cut out for us.

“We did receive some good computers, especially laptops. Most
older kids starting high school or college will want a laptop. Our
current problem is that many of these machines came with only 256
or 512 meg of RAM. Our experience teaches us that putting out a
computer with less than 1 gig of ram is more of a hindrance than a
help.”
