Mark,
I remember in 1984, I was 30, standing in line at a computer store in New Orleans East, trying to buy an Apple IIE. The store was selling them so fast they were selling them on the showroom floor right out the box. I had that IIE a long time.
Never did get a TRS-80 which some friends called "TRASH-80".
The IIE had a 1200 baud modem and it took me about 8 hours to update my stock market spreadsheet every quarter.

yes, helping organizations like churches and friends would be the best way to go.
I get the impression that Joey can help you with uses of Linux in
churches. There are even blog posts (like
http://blog.eracc.com/2010/12/08/linux-tux-goes-to-church/) that
would provide a good starting point. Depending on the type of
church (this wouldn't fly in mine) there is OpenLP
(http://openlp.org/ and http://openlp.org/en/forums).
Your other email talks about managing music collections. I really
like Amarok (http://amarok.kde.org/), but I've gotten a lot of use
out of Banshee (http://banshee.fm/) and RhythmBox
(http://projects.gnome.org/rhythmbox/)
HTH,
Mark.
