|
|
All right, everybody.
|
|
Here and there.
|
|
Mm mm.
|
|
All right, I'm morning.
|
|
So, hi, I'm here with Yancey Smith.
|
|
He was doing a donation project, he called the Scrapper Project here itself.
|
|
I just wanted to ask him a couple of questions about it. Hi, Yancey.
|
|
So tell me about it.
|
|
Well, best of all, I'm real locked and when I take time, I will take all computer from labs
|
|
and computer stores and give them to me, I will suck them and get someone else.
|
|
And a couple of days ago, I had that clearance and talking to the database or our president
|
|
and say, can we do this in our function?
|
|
And I sent out to our club members and my Facebook friends and we didn't put on the general list,
|
|
we were just trying to sell.
|
|
We didn't kind of donations this time, but some of us brought some stuff in and made with me,
|
|
but also all the stuff in to get rid of because I don't have the room.
|
|
And it didn't turn out so well, but had a couple of bags sitting with the Athens team home,
|
|
so they enjoyed that.
|
|
That's cool. I got some other questions here. I just want to bring them up.
|
|
Let's see here. So is this mostly you organized this on your own?
|
|
Yeah, but I'm working with a free Carolina PC Foundation.
|
|
I emailed them and they said, well, that would be glad to take them.
|
|
And they emailed me back.
|
|
I emailed Athens with the guy, but they didn't get mine all the time.
|
|
But I said, next year, I told him such and such, and he would know who to work on too.
|
|
I'll be able to willing to open to anyone.
|
|
This is the first year you've done this, or?
|
|
Yeah, it's first time.
|
|
It's an ad hoc thing, the club itself, the links group we have, the meritocracy,
|
|
but I still ask for missions.
|
|
Cool. And who are you going to give the donated computers to?
|
|
Or other foundations?
|
|
Mainly, if I had met something here, we would have met a three-way split.
|
|
Who needs what parts?
|
|
I found out the Carolina wanted hard drives and certain memory-six and things.
|
|
They would have got that three-f-t-I-t that they have certain books, certain amounts that they want,
|
|
and what they want, I would take home or send them to us.
|
|
I'd like to know me down the road.
|
|
Okay.
|
|
And did you look at any other projects?
|
|
I know you contacted some people, but did you look at other similar things that people have done online,
|
|
like, say, free geek or heliosinitiative or anything like that for ideas?
|
|
Yeah, mainly it's between, I haven't heard them too much, but like I said,
|
|
I'm following the guidelines of the Carolina Priests they had, some of the Athens stuff.
|
|
I had no work with it.
|
|
I had contact with them last year, as well.
|
|
It would be something I can use.
|
|
Okay.
|
|
You said something in the Facebook post you sent me about the Linux being required
|
|
by South Carolina State Law.
|
|
Could you explain it a little more?
|
|
Well, that was a misstatement.
|
|
What I want to say was that by state law we're required to send the parts and the metals stuff,
|
|
not in the trash they send it to a scrapyard.
|
|
Oh, okay.
|
|
But the part about the Linux is I put Linux on there because it wipes the drive-in completely clearly
|
|
because of data retention laws South Carolina.
|
|
See, a lot of stores are going to a thrift store, like a goodwill or a turf store.
|
|
They don't really walk down the street and run bill.
|
|
I don't have the fortune.
|
|
I'll just erase a couple of directories and think it's sanitized.
|
|
That is a dangerous thing to do today.
|
|
Yes, I know.
|
|
Plus, also, the license needs to use a rebuild the Windows.
|
|
I do that only whenever I've got the key.
|
|
That's just a lot of them.
|
|
Either if I have a dollar left key, I'll still put links on the top of it.
|
|
It says if there's a technical issue with the Windows.
|
|
I could recover it, but also I try to introduce them to the Linux.
|
|
It's called games, software, photos.
|
|
Everything is free.
|
|
Everything is legally transferable.
|
|
Especially, there's an application called Photo Wall or Photogram.
|
|
It's still like apples when you fly back and forth through your photos.
|
|
That's a cool thing.
|
|
Cool.
|
|
And I had one last question here.
|
|
Glad.
|
|
Got any stuff for me?
|
|
Not much left.
|
|
I have to stick out with my stuff.
|
|
All right.
|
|
Thanks a lot, Nancy.
|
|
I appreciate your time.
|
|
Okay.
