Hello

Computer Angels also does not publish an application form on the web, but 
we still receive many enquiries from outside Western Australia, mostly 
international. I usually respond with the following links stating that 
these groups may be closer or be able to assist with overseas enquiries:

http://dmoz.org/Computers/Software/Operating_Systems/Linux/Hardware_Support/Recycle_or_Obsolete/
http://www.worldcomputerexchange.org/
http://www.kiteinc.org/

We are currently drafting an information sheet that addresses about us, 
what we do, what is OSS, etc. But one of the difficult myths to dispel, is 
that what we provide is only for "the poor and needy" and if you have money 
for a computer and training, you would purchase something else. I was 
wondering if you had come across this and have addressed it in your 
information sheet.

All the best
