I should clarify that the current lot of PC's have been allocated to 
charitable orgainsations already but have not been delivered as yet. PC 
recycling is ongoing and there are expected to be more every year.

The ideal is for us to come up with the solutions and run a pilot of a 
small number of organisations. The 2020 Trust (which is national but 
originated in Wgtn) can then replicate this throughout NZ. What I'm 
saying is that we shouldn't try and tackle the logistics of the whole 
400 PC's (unless we have a guarateed perfect solution at hand).

We could store the PC's at the J-ville community centre or I have room 
to store a few of them in my office at home (in J-ville) and a large 
basement (dry/secure) if there is overflow.
