Always nice to hear about people getting better access and what the technology helps them do. The following is from the Pine Journal…

Carlton County and PCs for People recently worked together to distribute 50 personal computers to Carlton County residents who applied and met the income guidelines for the program.

Recipients received a refurbished computer, flat-screen monitor, keyboard, mouse, and several software applications at no cost thanks to PCs for People and a grant from the Blandin Foundation.

One of the recipients is already taking college classes online, while others are using their computers to track their finances, peruse the internet and simply learn more about what’s available on the world wide web.

The best news? The group still has a couple computers leftover, which will be given to qualified applicants on a first-come, first-served basis
