,----[ Quote ]
| Burgett's filmed interview is currently leading a CNN contest among videos 
| of 'ordinary people' whom CNN considers everyday heroes, narrowly edging out 
| the video of a man who is saving gorillas from extinction.

| Reader stefanlasiewski posted a journal article describing how, 
| bewilderingly, the state of California is threatening to shut down Burgett's

| With his non-profit organization called Alameda County Computer Resource 
| Center, he built up a volunteer organization, collects donated stuff from the 
| companies who provide them, strips any proprietary OS and software off the 
| drives, re-installs everything with Linux and free applications, and then
| gives them to schools or other not-for-profit organizations or individuals 
| without too much cash.  
|
| A great man with a great mission. CNN called him a hero already.
