Revitalised PCs

The post-xmas period is when I've got a few spare days that don't involve too much council work or liberal democracy. So I normally spend it "spring" cleaning...
So far I've thrown about 20kg of paper out, ready to be recycled, 2 PC base units that are either bare-bones, or empty. But, I've also managed to resurrect a couple of PCs that can now be used for various things (running committee rooms for elections etc). The last time they were up and running was during the Hodge Hill by-election. Now that we have a fantastic new PPC in place (Tariq Khan), they may well come into use again as his campaign gathers momentum in 2007.

Its amazing what you can do with unwanted old computers...

And as EARS isn't particularly memory or processor intensive it would run really well on older machines.

I've had a thought actually: A version to run on Linux which comes on a CD and you have a dedicated computer for the campaign. Use a flash drive to store the data on and you can use your normal computer...
