Saratoga seeks computer donations
Saratoga is calling all corporate leaders. The city is seeking corporate donations of computer hardware and services to help implement its technology plan and upgrade its outdated computer system. Items needed for the project include Ether Net switch routers, a Pentium PRO file server, and Microsoft NT server software.
Already one company has stepped up to the plate: Sprint Spectrum L.P. will provide the city with underground conduits worth about $15,000. City officials say they hope other corporate residents will follow the lead.
For more information, call Thomas Fil at 868-1200 by April 11. Computer materials donated to the city are tax-deductible.
