Here are the top ten reasons to volunteer at NTR's Bring a Computer Ask a Question program this Saturday:

10. You get to show off your computer skills to a captive and appreciative audience.
9. You help people in Philadelphia cross to the other side of the digital divide. Our side!
8. You will learn a trick of two from Stan and his crew of seasoned troubleshooters.
7. You will likely get a hug once you fix someone's problem.
6. "Ghosting" hard drives is cool.
5. You will get more adrenaline than playing by yourself on your PS3.
4. That disquieting feeling that you did something wrong when the computer you have been working on won't start up any more.
3. Realizing that you just put the cover on the wrong way. Nothing serious.
2. You will get a tour of NTR, and maybe even Stan's secret stash.

And, here is the full description of the program:

The "Bring A Computer, Ask a Question" (BACAAQ) program offers computer trouble-shooting workshops to the mostly low-income community served by NTR in the Philadelphia area. Participants bring their own personal computer systems and accessories to obtain assistance with questions relating to both hardware and software on Windows and Macintosh systems.

We provide advice on configuring and installing operating system and networking software, as well as utilities, especially programs that detect and repair viruses, "spyware," "adware" and other "malware." Our coverage of application software focuses mostly on troubleshooting issues such as configuring a program rather than on the basics of how to use a program.
We address major hardware tasks such as assembling a system from parts, as well as smaller tasks such as connecting a printer or installing CD and DVD drives. Participants may bring components purchased elsewhere, or they may shop for parts in NTR's Computer Thrift Store. Some components, such as video and sound cards, keyboards, mice and connectors, are available at no cost.
