How speshul.
The gov't pretending their recycling their old crap while at the same time demotivating people from coming up with $250
How many were Windows 7? I know, none. The useless gov't hasn't even got to Windows 7 yet...
Did you change them all to Ubuntu? If not even if you volunteered your time you wasted more than they're worth.
We issued Windows 2000 when Windows XP was current. We issued Windows XP when Windows Vista was current. When Windows 7 came out, we continued to issue Windows XP. Um, Vista, need I say more? When Windows 8 came out, we issued Windows 7. We've issued Windows 7 for a couple years now. We do have Linux Mint as an option, and a couple volunteers liked to push it, but most people take Windows 7. If a client brings back his/her computer too many times with virus infections, the supervisor forces them to switch to Linux. We also had a few Mac computers, but they were a couple OS generations behind as well. The few Mac's we get now have Power-PC processors, so the only generation of OS-X they can run is too far back. Over the last 4 years we got a total of 2 current iMac computers from universities, but they had blown power supplies and missing hard drive. We were able to repair them, but since we got so few, they were used for the lab.
By the way, most people on welfare can't afford $250. A single individual gets less than that for two weeks.
