Dear Mac friends:
Many thanks to Charlie Hutchens, Rich Fitzgibbon, John Hamill, Peter Carras, Jon Smith, Judy Schall, Dhundi Pokhrel, Heather Schall Lucas, Dave Sevick and new volunteers David Szymanski and Aidan Honnold for joining me last Friday for our weekly workday at our Goodwill Computer Recycling Center “annex.”
It was a de-manufacturing orgy last Friday. Apple laptops were the victims this week, and they died hard. But the biggest news wasn’t computers…
At lunch, as we marveled at the success of the Pittsburgh Pirates, Fitz quietly reminded John Hamill of a $5 bet over the Pirates success. Fitz expressed the wish that John keep the $5 warm for him as it looks like a sure payoff to Fitz. Given the circumstances of the past 20 years, well…
My fingers are numb from entering de-manufactured serial numbers into our database. Surprisingly there was one, just one refurbished in mid-June and that brings our all-time number to 3,475. There were 63 de-manufactured Macs representing 15 different Mac models.
We hope you enjoyed your Fourth of July holiday. We will gather again on Friday, July 12 at 2400 East Carson St. on Pittsburgh’s South Side. We open about 8:30 a.m., break for lunch at the Double Wide Grill (lunch: $12 up) across the street about 11:45, and leave about 3:30 p.m. You’re welcome to come anytime during the work day. We hope to see you there!
