[DM-MUG] Charity needs OS 10 disks.

[Holly Welch]

Let me just say that, although I don't know all the technical aspects  
of the Macs, I have been teaching iLife at the middle school level  
the last 3 years. The harder it is for kids to do this, the less  
interested they become. The beauty of the iMac is that it made all of  
this easy. Everyone was successful, and the kids became very empowered.

I wrote to Carmen and offered my help, but I did not hear back from her.
