Does Your Group Need A Listserv?
-
Many groups use address book nicknames in Outlook, Eudora or Webmail as a
simple way to email multiple people at once. This works fine for five
addresses, okay for a dozen, but beyond that, a list quickly becomes unwieldy.
If your group or organization routinely uses this method to communicate
via email, you might want to consider getting a mailing list (aka
listserv) instead. Prairienet provides free list hosting to qualifying
non-profit groups and organizations.

WANTED: donated computers
- Is your business or organization upgrading its computer equipment?
Why not donate the old computers to Prairienet?
- Since 1998, Prairienet has recycled over 2500 computers.
Computers have been distributed to low-income individuals and families as
part of our community computer training program. Others have been used to
establish approximately 80 public access computer labs in Champaign,
Urbana, Rantoul, East St Louis, Hopkins Park, Centreville, Alton,
Washington Park, Peoria and Bloomington.
- Previous donors include the Carle Foundation, Corsolutions,
Cities of
Champaign and Urbana, Lincoln Trail Libraries System, Parkland College,
State Farm, Allstate, SuperValu, Tabin Technologies, and Human Kinetics.
Prairienet is a non-profit organization, so there may be tax benefits
associated with a donation.
We currently have a monitor surplus and will not be accepting
any monitors in donation for the foreseeable future. Non-functioning
monitors cost us $6 a piece to recycle.
- For more information and current minimum hardware requirements, please
call Paul Adams at 333-5218 or
