Computer show set

The first Northern Nevada Computer

Show, a fundraiser for Disability Resources

and its NewToYou Computers program, is

scheduled Sept. 7 at the Reno-Sparks

Convention Center.

Several dozen companies ranging from

computer retailers to Internet service

providers will operate booths at the show.

Admission is $4, $3 for seniors and students

and free for children under 12 or for

people who donate a cell phone.

Proceeds benefit Sparks-based

Disability Resources, which provides job

development and other services for people

with disabilities. The nonprofit agency also

operates NewToYou computers, which

accepts donations of Pentium-based computers

and working peripherals, refurbishes

them and donates them to people with disabilities.

For information about the Northern

Nevada Computer Show or donations of

computers, call Disability Resources at
