St. Therese Technical Page

Mission: To support our parish and school with technology for ministries and education.

Current Needs:

* A web site developer. We are redesigning ( www.sttheresenorth.org ). We are able to provide pictures and an outline of the desired new site. The outline includes existing pages so content can have more of a starting point. The page is desired to be created in a simple, intuitive and easily accessible application. Currently, we use MS Front Page. 

* New computers (AMD / Intel Dual Core, 2gb memory, 80gb Hard Drive and DVD Burner)

* New (15" - 17" ) flat panel monitors.

* New Networking Technology: servers, switch gear and wireless routers (supporting WPA/PSK) security.

* Used working computers & flat panel monitors. Many business have donation programs for their used computers.

* Software and site licenses for operating systems and office applications.

 

We would greatly appreciate  these items and working with your institution to develop a mutually beneficial relationship.

 

Current Wants:

I would love to obtain vintage computers to display for the students during history of computers and for special lessons. I teach 3rd and 4th grade computers. Examples of vintage computers are:

 

1. Apple Macintosh (circa 1984)

2. Apple IIc (circa 1984)

3. IBM PC (AT [#5170] or XT [#5160]) (circa1984)

4. IBM PC jr. (circa 1983 - 1984)
5. Commodore Vic 20 (circa1981)
6. Texas Instruments TI-994A (circa1981)
7. Compaq Portable or Portable II (circa 1983 / 1986).
8. Osborne OCC-1(circa 1981)
