STUFF WE NEED
The Black Rock Beacon is looking for portable Macintosh computers to flesh out our production system. While we would
be happy with any working notebook, we are standarizing on the Powerbook G3 Lombard/Pismo platform. Besides the computers
themselves, we need working batteries and various peripheral devices.
We are also seeking a computer interface for a Riso 3750 duplicator. This would allow a significant increase in photo quality.
Contributions are tax-deductible in the United States.
If you can help us out, contact obtainium[at]blackrockbeacon.org
