Fry's donates parking lot space for PCs for Peace
Fry's electronics is among the donation sites for a World Computer Exchange Fall 2002 collection drive of working computers for youth in developing countries. Joel Byers of Fry's Electronics noted: "Fry's loves the idea that people shopping with us to upgrade their monitors and computers can now donate their old computers to such a good cause and receive a tax deduction as well. We hope that the world will become a safer and better place as children of the US and distant countries get to know each other online."
I have absolutely no problem with Fry's Electronics doing that...and can't see why any conservative should...provided the computers are actually donated to youth...and not Mohammed working on chemical weapons "for peace."
Seems like a smart marketing ploy to me. In fact, I have a ton of old PC hardware that I'd love to chuck but can't bring myself to toss in the landfill.
