Recently I’ve been trying to help out the Harambee Centre with their computers. They’re a development education resource centre in Cambridge, which basically means they help teach children about international development. This ranges from being a library of lesson plans and resources, to organising events at schools.
Last Monday afternoon (when I should have been writing about Buddhist warehouses) we ordered a new computer from Crimson Technology, Wayne’s company. He’s delivering it on Thursday. It’s paid for by a grant from the City Council. It seems almost accepted that computers are disposable and you have to get a new one every three years.
