            Reminder: We are open 1:00-5:00 New Year's Eve and closed New Year's Day.
               
                  Are you interested in donating a working computer to the Museum?
                 
                  We are currently in need of several computers for use in our offices. If you have one to donate, please call 434-977-1025 and speak to Louise or Peppy. If you donate a computer in good working condition, this contribution can be counted as an in-kind donation for tax purposes, and the donor can determine the market value of the computer. 

                  Here are the required specs:

                  IBM style computer with a processor speed of at least 1 GHz and 40 GB hard drive; memory of at least 256 MB; CD burner would also be useful but is not a requirement. We do NOT need any monitors. 
                    

                  Other support opportunities
