Lake Hamilton Bible Camp Needs Computers

NEW SYSTEMS: When we bought our server in January, 2001, it was nearly the latest technology. It's a P3 800MHz running Windows 2000 Professional. We also have three other workstations on this network much older then our server. We have been making do, and have been faithful with what we have to publish books, write the magazine and take care of the database. If the Lord lays it on your heart to send an offering to purchase new computers, printers, small parts, or software upgrades, please make your check out to LHBC. Attention it for our "Computer Project."

USED SYSTEMS NEEDED: Have you purchased a newer computer for your own use? If you are not using the old one and would like to donate it, we would like to recycle it for the Kingdom, and make it a blessing for the needs of the campground, as well as a blessing to someone else in need of a computer for Bible study purposes. We believe, that because of Pentium 4 technology, the used computer market is flooded with P2 and P3 systems which are sitting somewhere just collecting dust. We have need for many stand-alone workstations to be used solely for Bible Study.

An additional need is the computer that is used only during the services, to project the screen songs we have created using Microsoft Power Point. This computer is the only one available but quite slow in searching, and trying to keep up with song changes from our worship leaders. This computer is a 486-66 MHz using Windows 95.

In 1984, someone donated a nearly new Epson FX-80, 9 pin tractor fed dot matrix printer, when we first started buying computers for our office. We still use this printer every day for the printing of cassette labels. It's now 20 years old, but it sure has been a blessing to us. Sure, a new Epson is faster, but they still cost hundreds of dollars. We can make do with something you're no longer needing just as easy, and use the camps funds for other pressing needs.

For stand-alone work stations, the following are the minimum requirements for computers we could use:

At Least a Pentium II 300 MHz (computer still boots up working fine)
At Least Windows 95
At Least 64 meg of memory
At least 2 Gig Hard Drive
At least 2x or faster CD-ROM
At least a 14" VGA Monitor
Also keyboard and mouse
Optional: printer and cable

The original Windows CD is also needed should your computer crash and we would need to re-install Windows. This CD is always needed when adding a printer or other peripherals. Even the minimum computer listed above could be a good workstation and run Bible study software.

Please ship new or used working computer, monitor, or any peripherals to:
