>* By donating your old, or nearly dead machines you help us make computers more affordable to everyone. First we erase all old data to ensure privacy. Before breathing new life into them with the smaller and more efficient Ubuntu Operating System, we strip them down and repair or upgrade them as needed. All parts and components are tested and re-tested before being reformatted and Ubuntu is installed. Tests, tests and more tests are performed on the reborn machine before we pass it along to another happy new Ubuntuer! <

>* Donated dead computers or notebooks can be disassembled and used for parts to make repairs on other computers <
