Computer Donation Program
 We
have available to loan (on a permanent basis) computers that have been
donated to us by businesses and families for the purpose of this
program. These computers are recycled and made available to you upon
request. We have both PC and Macintosh platforms, as well as printers
and modems. This service is FREE to members of the TECHConnection.
Non-members are asked to donate $20.00.
Have a computer
that you'd like to donate?? It must be at least 500 MHz with 128 MB
of RAM and a CD-ROM player. Speakers, modems, keyboards and mouses
are gladly accepted; however, monitors are accepted only with a unit.
We will accept a unit without a monitor. Printers must come with a
NEW uninstalled cartridge. No scanners, please.
Please call at 732-747-5310 first.
Sorry, we cannot accept unscheduled drop-offs!
We are delighted to be able to offer
this program to you. This program could not be possible without the
help of our many volunteers. These computers are checked by our
technicians to make sure they are in excellent working condition. They
are ideal for the person that wants to do word processing, spreadsheet
work and a variety of low end business applications. These computers
are also excellent for the person who is a novice and wants to become
comfortable using computers, as well as providing an excellent
opportunity for children to practice with and get use to the mouse.
Early learning and academic software is available and we can help you
find the appropriate software to help you and your child.
 How
to become registered into this program:
Call our office for our Computer Donation registration form. This
form will be sent to you for you to fill out and return to our office.
When a computer is ready, you will be contacted to come in to pick it
up. For individuals that are homebound, we do have volunteers that can
bring the computer to you and set it up in your home. (Waiting time is
longer for these cases.) At that time you will receive a one hour
overview which will instruct you how to use your computer and address
concerns you might have regarding access to the computer.
All individuals requesting a computer are asked to become a member
of the TECHConnection. As a member you can receive
additional training time at the center, use our drop in hours to
practice and explore software, enjoy discounts for our training
workshops, have access to the World Wide Web, resource information and
our newsletter.
 Who
to Contact:
If you are calling to ask for a Computer Donation registration
form, you can do so with the receptionist who answers the phone. If
you have general questions about the program, you can contact the
TECHConnection
office during the week. Call 732-747-5310.
