Short Take: Microsoft and Compaq give to United Negro College Fund

Microsoft and Compaq Computer raised more than $100,000 for the United Negro College Fund. The money was raised at Networld+Interop through the companies' Equal Access charitable outreach program. The money, proceeds from ticket sales to a performance by Cirque Du Soleil, will go to historically black colleges to help them expand computing and Internet access, as well as improve computer science programs.
