A Northwest Nobel option?
,----[ Quote ]
| That list of Linux-related or -inspired
| developments is only partial. Here in the
| Northwest, for example, we could add the
| Free Geek operations in Portland, which do
| a lot of good for not only the low-income
| people and non-profit groups they are
| specifically aimed to help, but also almost
| everyone who comes into contact with them.
| The effects though have been world-wide,
| and are accelerating. And could grow faster
| with a little more attention.
