  1. Comment - Microsoft Donates to Katrina Rebuilding

    (Feb 27, 2007 - 3:02 PM)

    Yes, Slidell was hit hard by Katrina, but as most people know the brunt of the force of a Hurricane is on the North East side. Slidell in fact was the hardest hit area in LA, but that does not change the fact that Mississippi was in the NE quadrant of Katrina. Take a look at some of the satellite imagery of Waveland, Bay St. Louis, Pass Christian, Gulfport, Biloxi, Ocean Springs (my home town), Gautier, and Pascagoula. You will see mostly slabs along the entire Mississippi coastline.

    It also appears that you have not read my posts throughout this thread. I was just trying to put an end to the "Microsoft is late" and "What has Apple done?" comments.

    My main concern is about Mississippi non-profit companies being left out of the latest Microsoft donation.

    Found this on CNNMoney.com dated 9/15/05
    http://money.cnn.com/200...tune500/firms_hurricane/

    "Apple Computer donated $1 million to the Red Cross and is accepting donations on behalf of the Red Cross through a link on its iTunes Music Store site."

    also this:

    "Microsoft Corp has pledged an initial $1 million and sent technology experts to help the Red Cross. They have also sent 3 buses with high end satellite equipment for use in remote areas."

    So, this tells us that MS is not late to help out, and also eliminates any Apple bashing.

    I live on the Mississippi Gulf Coast. I realize they were affected, but that is no reason to leave out the State that was hit by Katrina. New Orleans was flooded as a result of water being pushed into Lake Pontchartrain and the levy braking. The Mississippi Gulf Coast was hit by the full force of Katrina.

    I am not saying don't give money to Louisiana or Texas. I am saying don't leave out Mississippi non-profit companies.

    "money being awarded to non-profit partners in Louisiana and Texas"...too bad they left out non-profit partners located in the state that was actually hit by hurricane Katrina.
