Equipment is a better use of funds than a salary, but I wouldn't support even
that as an LA issue.
However I support getting people in Victoria to donate old hardware. I would
be happy to donate some switches, PCs, and other stuff from both my own
personal stockpile and the LUV hardware library if needed. I could arrange
collecting a heap of computer gear for someone to make a single trip to Moe to
deliver it.
