After renovation, nearly 80 old campus computers, some assembled from scavenged parts, have been donated to local K-12 schools this year under an informal recycling program run by the UCSB Bookstore's Asset Protection Department. "We're the middleman," said Will Wood, department manager. "We collect the computers, mainly from Instructional Computing, and try to match them up with the kids." Wood has a network of PTA and teacher contacts who send him wish lists. Anyone who has an old but operable machine to donate should contact him at x2195.
