Computers for Nonprofits - 1/20/99

[Doug Schuler]

FYI,


The investment firm Piper Jaffray recently donated 2,000 computers to
DRAGnet, a non-profit organization that refurbishes and recycles computers.
DRAGnet provides other non-profit groups with valuable technology, according
to a Jan. 19 press release.

"We're excited about making this contribution to those who most need access
to these high-quality computers," said Teresa Bonner, public-affairs
director at Piper Jaffray, Inc.

DRAGnet, the largest non-profit computer recycler in the United States,
recycles, refurbishes and reuses all computer-related electronics to benefit
disadvantaged individuals and the organizations that serve them. The
computers are distributed to disadvantaged people, families, schools and
non-profit organizations nationwide.

The donation from Piper Jaffray is the result of the company upgrading its
workstations, software and servers. The donated computers are modern,
Pentium-based PCs. The computers are available to nonprofit organizations
for a nominal fee that covers the cost of refurbishing and shipping. For
information about obtaining a computer from DRAGnet, call  612-378-9796,
