I got this in one of the newsletters I receive:

SOFTWARE DISCOUNTS FOR NONPROFITS
CompuMentor, a San Francisco nonprofit that has been providing
discounted computer consulting for other nonprofits for 15 years, in
February launched DiscounTech, a store where nonprofits can purchase
software products at significant discounts. For example, Paul
Bongiovanni of the Family Stress Center is able to buy Microsoft's
Office XP for $60 rather than the $500 retail price. Mark McNeil of the
nonprofit Economic Opportunity Council said that with DiscounTech, for
every four licenses of Office, they save enough to buy another computer.
CompuMentor serves as a single point of donation for software companies
that want to make charitable gifts. CompuMentor also receives funding
from Microsoft and AOL Time Warner. New York Times, 21 October 2002

"There is a theory which states that
if ever anyone discovers exactly what
the universe is for and why it's here,
it will instantly disappear and be
replaced by something even more bizzarly
inexplicable."

"There is another theory which states
that this has already happened!"
