I will be checking all the extra hardware we have at the office, including
monitors, keyboards, mice and speakers.  Whatever we don't need will be
donated to the CIS.

RHS, which PCs do you want?  Apart from the server, the ones in Anil's
office at UWI are faster than the ones I'm disposing this week.  If it's
those, then you need to arrange time/date with Anil and let me know as I
should walk out of campus with you and the PCs.

I agree.........shiva told me that we will be able to do that at his school.
His principal was generous enough to actually give us room which we can use
more or less as a permanent CIS lab, ADSL included.  It doesn't make sense
to have a lab and not make use of it.  I want the CIS's activities to take
off before the year is done.  We need to setup a meeting to discuss possible
ideas.
