[Macwoburn] Fwd: [NPMUG] Pittsburgh, Woburn MA and South Mississippi working together to help flood hurricane victims

[P.A.M. Borys]

Hi,

Dave Sevick of the North Pittsburgh Mac User Group is putting  
together a shipment of around 100 computers for Katrina survivors. If  
anyone has any recent machine or software to donate, please box it up  
ASAP and I'll see if I can get it down there. Otherwise, you may ship  
to:

Terry Pollard
554 Aila Street
Diamondhead, MS 39525

P.A.M.
