We need to do something to keep our material resource pool non-empty.  I was
thinking about starting a recycling program where companies can donate their
old computers when they are going to upgrade.  A non-profit organisation in
Canada made a deal with Dell, where companies can trade-in their older
computers and Dell gives them a discount on new ones.  When the UPTT is
formed, maybe that will be something to look at.  Something like this is
needed for the region.

Hope it goes well.  I would have liked to make it but I have classes from
