New computers are supposed to be faster than ones that are years old, right? Well...

The documentary I made in 2018 about Free Geek Twin Cities:

To find a similar organization in your area, I've found that a search term like "nonprofit computer recycling" works well. How you can help a particular location may vary -- they may accept donations, have a thrift store (which can be seriously fun to check out, as they sometimes also offer retro tech), or accept volunteers. In any event, your support will be greatly appreciated.

Featured music: "Nothing Matters" and "Now or Never (You and Me)" by Dan Mason (http://danmason.bandcamp.com).
