COMPUTER ACCESS FOR KATRINA REFUGEES, CONTINUED: Will Reed of Technology For All has been blogging daily about the effort to connect New Orleans refugees in Houston with the Internet. As of this morning they've got ninety computers operating on a wireless network in the Astrodome computer center, with more coming on line there and in other Houston shelters. Over a thousand of the stadium's temporary residents used the center yesterday to sign into the online database/message service for survivors.

If you helped, thanks! This is just the beginning... TFA expects to be providing computer access and training for the 100,000+ evacuees in Houston for months if not years. You can kick in a few dollars, if you're so inclined, at their website.
