Regular readers of this column will be aware that Green Left has been running a campaign to purchase a new computer for our editor. The power of the computer the editor has been using has been outstripped by workload, to the point where it has been creating a serious bottleneck on production. Over August, we hoped to raise the $2000 or so needed to purchase the computer and so we have been running a small campaign to raise the funds.
The response to our request for help from Green Left readers has been encouraging, with a number of larger donations flowing in. Nevertheless, we are still short of the $2000 purchase price. The real need for the computer cannot be overemphasised, though — so much so that we have gone ahead and purchased the computer partly on credit.
In order to make our target of donations to pay for the new machine, we need around a further $500. Ten new shares to Green Left will solve our problem. Perhaps you can help?
The range and depth of Green Left's national and international coverage is growing weekly. The sheer volume of information processed every week has grown immensely since our first issue, almost four years ago.
Green Left Weekly will continue to grow stronger — with your help. The new computer for the editor is the next vital step. Green Left Weekly it's your newspaper.
