Some initiatives that definitely fit in with poetic economics!
pc4peace http://www.pc4peace.org/ is seeking ways to bring computers to people in developing countries who need them, beginning with Cambodia. If you have the means to help pc4peace - please do!
Free Geek http://freegeek.org/ helps the needy get nerdy - and recycles computers, too.
Many thanks to everyone at pc4peace and Free Geek and similar organizations - for everything you do!
