[DC LoCo] FOSS - Computer reuse at U st

[Greg Reagle]

I am interested in this.  I visited Greater Goods for the first time
recently and I like the store.  I bought a light-weight metal water
bottle that I love.  The store is near my office.  I have started again
working on redistributing older yet functional computers (stockpile in
my basement).  I should have one ready to go soon.
