Computers Needed  The computer lab is looking for gently used computers for the computer lab. If your computer is a few years old but not being used anymore, please email Anne with specifics. When emailing Anne, please include the Make, Model, Speed(Mhz) and RAM. We are looking to upgrade the lab this summer and have at least three or four computers that are too old to work well. We could also use a few more laptops for use at Westlake.
