What started out as a loose bunch of volunteers and stacks of computer bits in Steven Bothwick’s garage has turned into a warehouse full of volunteers and hundreds of computers in the hands of low-income Granite Staters. One year ago, Bothwick and his volunteers started the Computer Technology Assistance Corps, the aim of which is to repair and refurbish retired computers so that they might have new life with an eligible child, low-income family, senior citizen, school or nonprofit. Though this is something that’s being done at various levels across the country, Bothwick’s nonprofit also offers technical support, basic care and troubleshooting lessons, as well as classes for parents to teach them how to monitor their kids’ computer use.
