We celebrated our 15th Birthday on the 10th August. Our volunteer "Statman" Trevor has been with DRC since we began in 1992 and we presented him with a Certificate to show how much we appreciate his hard work. All we need now is a nice new computer for him instead of the ancient one he currently uses - it must surely be the oldest computer still used on a day to day basis in New Zealand! Trevor uses it to compile and collate our statistical data and produces monthly reports on this. It has no Windows, just DOS. It has no mouse, just a keyboard. It doesn't take CD's, just 3 1/2" AND 5 1/4" floppies (remember those?) Of course you can't access the internet on it. Interesting that in all these years it has never let us down, never given us a blue screen, never performed an illegal operation and had to be shut down! However, it would be great if we could get Trevor a nice new computer as we have some better software for him but it won't run on anything less than Windows XP.
Any offers?

I believe Trevor has also been doing volunteer work at the Heart Foundation. What a guy!
