+The Cochise Linux User Group, CLUG, conducted a Computer Workshop on Monday, 24 May 2021 at the Warrior Healing Center, 1838 Paseo San Luis, Sierra Vista AZ.  Four people attended the event.
+
+**PREPARATIONS:**
+
+ * Computers and computer accessories were donated by a company going out of business.  We received 5 laptops and 1 tablet, monitors, keyboards, mice, and numerous cables and adapters.
+ * Because we received these items on 21 May, and our next CLUG meeting was on Saturday 22 May there was little time to plan a full blown workshop so four members volunteered to sort and test the donated equipment on Monday 24 May.
+ * Two desktop computers were donated during the conduct of the workshop from a lady that was attempting to clear her parents estate.
+
+**ACTIVITIES:**
+
+ * All 5 laptops were found to be capable of a Ubuntu install.  However, the 3 Lenovo laptops (all 3 are I-3s with 8 GB of RAM, and 320 GB hard drives) do not have ac adapters.  We are in need of 3 ac adapters that will fit these laptops.  
+ * Ubuntu 20.04.2.0 installed on one Dell Laptop.
+ * The Dell tablet would not even turn on.  It needs further work.
+ * The 2 desktops were extremely old and found to be unsuitable for a Linux install.  They were however donated to a veteran who only wanted to use them to play old DOS and Microsoft games.
+ * Four monitors were tested and found to be acceptable
+ * Thirteen donated keyboards were tested and found to be acceptable.
+ * Four mice were tested and found to be acceptable.
+ * Twelve desktop hard drives were tested  and 10 were found to be acceptable.  Two were discarded.
+ * Eight laptop hard drives were tested and found to be acceptable.
+ * Three SSD drives were tested and 2 were found to be acceptable.  One was discarded.
+ * In addition we now have six switches all of which are fully functional.
