We need your thumb drives!

I've been trolling eBay for a while now trying to pick up the various bits of computer hardware we want to take with us. Since the items we want to take are not really on the bleeding edge of technology I have been able to pick them up pretty cheaply. We still have a few bits to test out, but we now almost have everything we need thanks to some fairly good deals and even better donations from ACU and other organizations.

One of the things I just can't bring myself to pay for is USB flash drives. Heritage Christian College would like to provide one to each student using the computer lab, since there is so little disk space available to the students and there is currently no central file server. USB drives solve two problems at once: no need to install and maintain additional hardware, and students can easily move their work between machines and even to the local Internet cafe. While we or they could purchase these, it seems that many folks probably have one or two they aren't using. If you get a chance, please dig thru the back of your junk drawer and send us your unused USB drives so we can help out the Bible students in Accra.

And last we, need any Bible software you are willing to part with. If you bought a concordance program or commentary on CD, but haven't used it lately, let us take it to HCC; they will put it good use.

Thank you for continuing to help with us help these Ghanaian ministries.
