Why Every Family Or Individual Needs His/Her Own Home Computer And Internet Access

Update

October 17, 2008 - November 9, 2008

In order to take advantage of Bayne Street's programs or any Internet-based resource, program, information or service, individuals and families must have their own home computer, a printer and Internet access.

Our services and programs are packaged together for a reason. Each service or income program supports the other; thus making it possible to increase savings or maximize potential income. By encouraging adults, young adults and especially families with school-age children to engage in and pursue legitimate and beneficial activities on the Internet, we can begin the process of developing beneficial or more productive mind-sets that can impact and change an individual's or group's precepts and concepts.

Among the most important mind-sets are self help, personal initiative, higher community standards, personal responsibility, YHVH (GOD) consciousness, respect for others, legal authorities and educational institutions, and self discipline. Our collective history; as a nation, has already proven government sponsored programs have more liabilities than benefits. Plus, more government sponsored programs mean higher taxation.

More taxes increase financial burdens on families that are already struggling with declining discretionary income. Working minority families have been behind the proverbial "8 ball" for hundreds of years. Using advanced, in-home, computer technology can move many of these families out in front of it for the first time in modern world history. Having an online home computer system with a printer to distribute information or to print documents, puts the power of advanced technology in every home.

Acquiring Home Computer Systems For Adults And Families In Your Community

As stated previously, the rising cost of living is depleting available financial resources for many families. In addition, Bayne Street's field testing has revealed many families across America also have credit related problems. Therefore, whatever in-home computer system an individual or family can use beneficially becomes a problematic acquisition issue.

The Bayne Street Project has taken the first major step to empower individuals and families. It is now possible for any and every family to be empowered with advanced in-home computer technology. Any person can purchase a highly advanced, Internet- ready, home computer system, direct from the manufacturer at the lowest possible price. We even have a national lender for all 50 states.

Even these efforts are not enough. Consequently, we are also contacting churches, entertainers, clubs, associations, civic organizations, business groups, professional athletes, authors, radio and television personalities, celebrities and foundations to help purchase computers for families that need them. However, non profit community based groups and churches must contact these individuals and organizations that have the financial means to purchase computers. By doing so, more individuals and families that need them, can acquire them and use them.

Anyone can help in this massive project by encouraging relatives, families and people he/she knows with school-age children to acquire a complete home computer system, either locally or online. Individuals and families can also purchase an advanced computer system at factory direct prices from the manufacturer we have contacted for this specific purpose. If purchased from the manufacturer, online and telephone assisted training and support services are available for first-time users.

That's why it is important to encourage first-time users and others to go online. You can also encourage intelligent, influential and concerned others in your commuity to do the same by making it possible for credit challenged families to acquire low cost; affordable, but, highly advanced computer systems. Individuals or families with good credit or cash money can acquire their own. Entire communities, towns and cities can organize themselves for this purpose.

Still Immersed

Update

August 6, 2008 - October 16, 2008

Since May 31, 2008, the members of Bayne Street's Ad Hoc Committee have been continually immersed in personal, family, business and professional matters.

These personal, but extemely important matters have severely limited and restricted the amount of time we have been able to devote to the project. We had hoped that the situations, circumstances and the series of events that descended on the committee at the end of May would have subsided by now, but they haven't.

In fact, in many cases, personal situations worsened and this includes the passing of beloved family members. However, we are undaunted and will continue our work and commitment to bring more working families and computers together. We firmly believe this is most effective strategy to cope with new actualities that will emerge as the 21st Century nears.

The recent upheavels in the world's financial markets that have wiped out billions in investment portfolios are just the beginning of a worsening economic crisis. The world's oil crisis that exploded the price of fuel and consumer goods and services upward is not over either.

The news is not all bad, in fact, for Bayne Street participants in South Carolina, the news is exceptional good. We have recently allied ourselves with a national effort to accumulate $30,000,000.00 (Thirty Million Dollars) over the next 5 years, barring any unfortunate circumstances and events. The lessons we learned earlier this year played a significant role in our decision to join this effort.

More about this in our next blog post.

Raising The Awareness Level

Update

May 1-15, 2008

During this month we began raising the awareness level of foundations that can fund computer acquisition for the economically challenged.

This includes individuals and families with no credit, slow credit or bad credit. Our goal is to pave the way for community organizations, churches and other non profit civic groups to contact major state and national funding sources. By the end of this month, we will have contacted every major community and educational foundation in every state, except Alaska and Hawaii.

The first 15 days during May, Lorraine Primrose also temporarily stepped down as Chairperson of The Bayne Street Project because of personal, business and family reasons. She will be missed and we hope to have her back soon. George Sistrunk has assumed the Chair and will direct Bayne Street activities until Madame Chair returns to her duties.

May 16-31, 2008

Bayne Street has also received the technical specifications for The Bayne Street Computer Special. It is Gateway's model DX441S, with monitor and printer included. Because we now have a flyer with the computer, we are going back to every home that did not receive a picture of the computer, monitor and printer, to give these individuals and families an opportunity to purchase this system at factory direct prices.

A blog page has already been setup for the computer. Go to Bayne Street's navigation links to view the computer and its technical specifications. We will post a link to foundation sources and other non profit funding sources in our next post. Our blog page with the DX441S computer was temporarily blocked by Google. They thought our computer special was a spam blog.

We do not believe in spamming because it serves no useful purpose. In addition, spammers are annoying, nauseating and an online nuisance. Who wants to buy a product or use a service from anyone that uses underhanded tactics to sell them? The answer: No self-respecting person.
