Hi Everyone,

I received this message from someone looking for a good samaritan to help a
friend with a Mac project. Please contact her directly if you think you can
help or know of someone who can.

Please note that I have altered her email below to help protect from spam.
Replace at with @ and dot with . to email her.

Thanks!

Peter

Subject: [Email Via Website] Regarding "georgetown mac users good deed "

Hi Peter -  Happy Holidays - I got your name from your website via the
woburn mac users site.  My number is 207-799-4012.  It might be easier to
explain by phone, but will give it a go in email:


I'm looking for help from a Mac-user who lives in or near Georgetown, Mass.
I have a dear friend whose elderly step-dad, Donald, is nearing the end of
his life. One of his sisters -she's Dot and she's in her 90's - lives in
Georgetown, Mass. Donald lives in Gray, Maine and is pretty much bed-ridden
from cancer and can't get to Mass. to see Dot. Dot doesn't go far from home
either, so she can't come to Maine to see Donald. We were thinking it would
be nice if Donald & Dot could 'visit' one more time -virtually, by way of
technology.


We have the computer capacity on this end with a mac that has a built in
camera eye and internet connection and all that - but we need help with the
connections and technology at Dot's side of things in Georgetown. She
doesn't have any internet or computers or anything, but we do have an
earthlink dial-up account that might work if we could get someone to visit
with Dot and bring a laptop with a built in video camera so that Donald &
Dot could visit real time with pictures.


Whatcha think - got any ideas for who we might get in touch with?


I tried the IT people at the No. Essex Community College in Haverhill, but
they didn't think they could help - besides it's between terms and their
campus is pretty quiet at the moment. We're trying to find out which church
Dot goes to, but we're not sure they'll have the computers/ability to help.
So, that's why we're turning to you/the woburn mac users club in the hopes
you'll know someone who knows someone...


But if you don't feel comfortable giving me someone elses contact info,
could you forward mine to them, please?


We've got a little time to pull this off, but we haven't got much time
because Donald is really very very ill with cancer, although he's still
quite lucid and 'with it', if you will.  Thank you for considering my
request:
