Recent changes to Microsoft’s donation offerings through TechSoup.org allowed us to buy licenses for previously un-Microsoft-ed PCs, so the three PCs in our lab that could only have Linux on them since they did not have an original Microsoft Windows License will soon have Windows. The licenses were sold to us for a donation fee of $6 each: we bought 10 for $60, which closed out the last of the Verizon Foundation grant from Back to Work 2010.
Thank-you Verizon Foundation and Microsoft for making it possible to help three more people in each class learn marketable computer job skills and get employed.
