I work at a nonprofit called Free Geek that takes donated computers, takes them apart, tests them and all of the components, rebuilds them and gives them to our volunteers and other nonprofits. If we can't reuse a computer, we recycle it to make sure it doesn't go in a landfill.

My mom made about Free Geek ...

The full version of the movie my mom made has been uploaded, so I put it here too. I also just updated my sig, the Ephrata, Pennsylvania and Olympia, Washington Free Geeks aren't doing everything we feel is necessary to use the Free Geek name, so they will probably be asked to change their names soon. There are also some new Free Geeks starting up that I added to my sig.
