I was wondering about this phrase, becuase i'm in jr high and I was looking at some old iMacs that they have in the back of the classroom, and I was wondering if anyone who can get stuff from pubilc schools, means that it is free to anyone who wants it or somthing like that,

Ask. i'm doing the same soon cause they're getting rid of the 900 MHZ Pentium 3's soon.

well, i'm kind of afraid to ask and I don't think I could dismantle it, I really wanted bitop (I forgot how to spell your name

) to answer since he gets free computers

I have about 50 computers. 46 of them were found in the trash. honestly, talk to the computer teacher and get on their good side. Ask if they will just be thrown away, and if so, ask if you can take thm. Tell them that you want to bring them home, learn to fix them up, then donate them to the needy. Hey.... you are needy. You need those computers!

I don't think there the computer teacher's there in the math class, and I'm sure its not a two way class, he only has those like 4 or 5 I macs, oh and one that looks like an old monitor with a floppy disk lot in the front, not the old macs that were tiny, they look like a microsoft crt monitor

My school has about 100 old computers lying around collecting dust, we have about 300 computers total in the school most brand new.

It means to be cut in half with a chainsaw, of course.

I wish I could get some of the older computers from my school, the PCs mainly for their drives, ribbon cable and power supplies, the iMacs for use as servers. As you can tell, we desperately need to upgrade; iMac G3s running OS 9 (became outdated 5 years ago) and Pentium III Dells that were "Designed for Windows 98" running 2000.
