Here is another computer we fixed up for the Blue Ridge Independent Living Center. We fixed this computer up awhile ago and when they give them out they ask for a picture for us.

Here is another computer we fixed up for the Blue Ridge Independent Living Center. This is our first picture and we appreciate his willingness as we feel that a picture of a person smiling looks much better than just a computer.

This computer is one of the fastest ones down in the youth area of Greenvale School. It needed to be cleaned up and games installed so we took it home and updated everything on it.

A friend of mine works with families and told me she is an honor student and their computer stopped working. She brought it over and we dusted it off and reinstalled the operating system and got it back up and working. Of course we threw on some other fun software as well for her to play when she is not studying.

I got a call from my mother-in-law this weekend about a family who wanted to have a computer for their son. I had fixed this one up but wanted to update some of the software on it. I got it done just in time for them and take a shot with him in my kitchen.

This was a computer donated to Greenvale school a couple of years ago but went down on them. We fixed it up and with Jenny Lee's help putting the computer back into the plastic desk. IBM with United Way have setup a website for these computers located at http://www.kidsmartearlylearning.org/

We delivered this computer over to a boy who has a broken foot and is stuck at home. He needed a computer to do his homework and for the tutor coming over. This is a picture of the computer and monitor.

A big thanks to my buddy Kelly for donating her computer to PatchX before she moved west. It took us a while to get it up and going but I think we found a great family. The picture shows two boys but there is also a daughter who will be using the computer.

This computer is the first of six that were rebuilt for the Greenvale Learning Lab. It is trying to hide in the back right of the picture.

This computer is the second of six that were rebuilt for the Greenvale Learning Lab. It is right behind the tube monitor with the froggy.

This computer is the third of six that were rebuilt for the Greenvale Learning Lab. The front computer on the right with the flat panel is Patch72. The art around the computers was painted by a lady who works at Greenvale. They really add to the room.

This computer is the fourth of six that were rebuilt for the Greenvale Learning Lab. If you saw the pages for the other computers you will see poor Patch73 here finally got a flat panel monitor.

This computer is the fifth of six that were rebuilt for the Greenvale Learning Lab. We sort of went zig zag in setting these up. The last computer will be replacing the tube monitor on the right.

This computer is the last of six that were rebuilt for the Greenvale Learning Lab. It was very exciting to see the last computer being installed. The lab will be a wonderful resource for Greenvale.

There was an open slot when the Imac we built for Greenvale School decided to stop working. We put a couple of new games on the computer and brought it over before Christmas. The computer on the right is Patch76 but once I pulled out the camera a couple of the other girls playing games wanted in the picture. No problem at all and it seems from the picture SuperTux seems to be a popular choice.

This computer along with Patch79 was given to a local day care center. They are a wonderful daycare that has received a very high rating from Smart Beginnings of Roanoke

This computer is pretty special as I was able to deliver it on my birthday. One of the families we donated a computer to last year neighbor's daughter would play on it when she was at their house. She did not have a computer at her house so we fixed one up for her.

We recieved this computer from our friends over at TwoRobs. We had to put some memory in there so we can load it down with games and other softeware items. Thanks to some other computers we have fixed up in the past allowed us to donate this one to a child at a local school system.

This has been a busy week for PatchX but we love to see great pictures come back from a computer delivered. This computer was donated by a co-worker and he was able to find a family as well to give the computer to once we finished our work.

This computer was another one from a co-worker that we were able to fix up and then donate it back to them to give to a special needs child at their daughter's school. We love when this happens since the person donating the computer can see where it is going.

The computer in the three year old class would not turn on. It took us some time to try and configure this computer for these kids to try and build it in a way that is usable but at restart could reset itself back to the original form. We used SteadyState from Micrsoft to do this and we will track progress to see if this worked.
