Action to Support Orphans and Disadvantaged (ASOD) Uganda started in 2004 May, as a grassroots charity. On the 26th July 2005 the organization was officially mandated by the laws of Uganda to be a local non-government organization (NGO) working within slum areas of Kampala , with its head office at Kyebando central. The organization came into existence as the first pioneering organization to deal with the plight of kids and community orphaned by the pandemic. ASOD has propelled the initiative of HIV AIDS research work in Ugandan and other development work for social transformation of orphan societies. The organization works are supported by the community services and the management of the organization.
The computers donation is meant for the Millennium College School (Orphans Computer Literacy Project). The project will enable the students and community to enquire computer skills that can empower them to be self reliant. Any adive that enable us ship the computers will be nice.
Who will be paying the custom charges for the computers upon their arrival to Uganda? Who will be transporting the computers from their port of arrival to your organization?
Computer Aid International may be able to give you advice

Digital Aid may also have advice -- make it clear in your email to this organization that you are looking ONLY for advice, not for a donation, as they have suspended their own operations right now due to lack of funding

I was told by a friend that repeatedly playing DVD movies and TV shows on my computer would damage the DVDs (not the drives) because DVD drives on computers spin much faster than they do on TV DVD players. I've been planning to get an iMac to use as a TV and a computer but he says I need a separate DVD player so I don't destroy my DVDs. He says watching a DVD on a new computer as few as 5 times will destroy the disc because it is spun so fast. Can that possibly be true? I can't find ANYTHING supporting his theory...
NO, NO, NEVER
your friend is misinformed.
Your iMac idea is fine.
DVDs can and in fact will wear out eventually, but the amount of times that they'd have to be read will far supercede any amount that you'd ever throw at it
A load of rubbish!
The only thing that comes in contact with a CD / DVD when it's playing is the laser and that's only a beam of light!!
About the only thing that could happen is if the disc was cracked or warped, then the high speed may cause the disc to disintegrate.
NO WAY - THE PHYSICAL SPEED DOESNT MATTER. THE LASER IS THE ONLY THING THAT READS THE DISC AND THE MATERIAL IS MADE FOR THAT! NO WAY, YOU'RE FINE ;)
I have to maintain a large number of computers at work and here is what i want to do: I install Windows XP. Then, i customize it. Like disabling the screensaver, enabling quick launch, setting computer%26desktop properties and so on. Well, how can i "record" all this with a program that generates an .exe file or a .vbs or whatever, so i can port all my customization to other computers running a clean installation of Windows XP? So i don't have to do it manually all the time in all those computers that i have to set...
Thanks in advance!
You can do this a number of ways...
You can build one computer to your liking. Then you create an image of the computer using a program like Acronis True Image. You can then image all the other computers using the image of the original. This is beneficial because you won't need to go through the windows installation on all the other PCs. Note - You can only image computers (without many more steps) of the same hardware specs.
Another way to do this is to use the "File and settings transfer wizard". Export the settings to a cd or other external device. Then on the other PCs import the settings using the same wizard. If any of the machines are PRE XP you will need the XP installation disc for this wizard.

easy way will be using a router!
if wish to use pc to pc link up you need 3 network card
in 1 pc install 2 network card and 1 to other pc.
using winxp default sharing and it should work!!
I don't know about your situation exactly, buy my husband got a router from walmart and it hooks up easily with some cat 5 cable, and the software took only a few minutes to install. It works great for us on a cable modem. Its also nice because we are still independent of each other, so one computer can be shut off and the other will still be able to use the net.
Try using a router! 25 $ but it works great, and I don't think by law u can have 2 connected just like that! im not sure u should check with ur Phone/cable co. to make sure!
I've noticed Levino notebook computers at mass merchants like Best Buy, Circuit City and Office Depot for about a year and some. They seem competitively priced but who are they? Generally Toshiba and Sony are regarded as the machines of choice over HP and Compaq. Where would Levino stand between thes eother mfg's? Sould I choose it over which others if all other things are equal?
Thank you
I have Lenovo N100 bought last year, when Core due was introduced, The SW features are very good, but the Key board is horrible and also the speakers are bad in class.
My Hard disc was broken and sent to service centre and they replaced for free. Service is very good.
Other than that they are sturdy most use full for business purpose, but if you thinking of buying Thinkpad from Lenovo then it is all together a different experience, I used T40 for 2 1/2 years w/o any issues great machine but after 2 1/2 years hard disc was broken.
This weekend I saw one Lenovo model in officedepot with Dolby , and keyboard is also soft so they are thinking ....
But if your are interested in watching movies etc on laptop then HP is good, some models come with remote.
Positioning wise all companies are same (all laptops are made in China or Taiwan, mostly same Contract manufacturers make laptops for all companies) it depends on how much we want to spend, if things are equal then HP or Sony.
