Microwave, just how old are you exactly?
Regina is right. The written authorization DOES say 10 days, not 30.

You need glasses.

I'm 38.  And right about this.  I don't know how old you fools are.

[url=http://www.rotaryjuninvb.org.ar/]http://www.rotaryjuninvb.org.ar/[/url] website doesn't work anymore.  Imagine that.

I will continue to question and attack anyone who comes one here claiming they're doing it "for the children". 
You may be able to bullshit some knuckleheads on here, but not me.

And Inu-liger, you need to lose your rose-coloured glasses.  Age has nothing to do with being niave, so I could care less how old you are.  Hopefully, you didn't send these idiots any money and my job was done... regardless of how you chose to thank me.
OMG!, you miserable bastard!... who do you think you are to demand pictures of the computers before throwing your shit on our faces just for supporting a good action??. How hugly a person can be?, well... you're a pretty good example.
Thanks for digging this up.

As a miserable bastard, I think I have the right to ask...

There are dozens of fake autographs on ebay each day - sold by professional fakers and sellers who only sell for their own profit but for some people a charity auction is apparently so much more offensive.

It's always easy to say: why don't you make money in another way, why don't you ask Brian May for money and not an autograph etc etc. It's so much easier to attack people who actually DO something than to take any action ourselves. Isn't it outrageous that many people can spend 400 $ for a signed TShirt while so many children do not get the education that would ensure them a better life and even do not have enough food? In fact, it's easier to make people buy a signed Brian May shirt than to make them send a couple of dollars with nothing in return and no public pat on the back.

Good luck with your auction.[/QUOTE]
I usually get the impression that your opinions are too politically correct to be totally sincere, but this time i'm totally with you.

Wow, just realised this is not a current thread.
So, yeah, good question.
Wow, this was a long time ago and I think everyone who had doubts was pretty happy to see that everything was ABSOLUTELY REAL after they saw it published in Brian's website at the time the donation was finally made: http://brianmay.com/brian/briannews/briannewsoct09a.html (it's the article named "BRIAN-SIGNED TEE-SHIRT FUNDS SCHOOL COMPUTERS").
We even managed to get the computer classroom named after Brian!
Of course this was back in 2009 and it's been a few years, but I thought this needed an update with a link so you can know what happened.
And in case someone wants a more recent update (which unfortunately I can't provide since I'm now a member of a different Rotary club), this is the school phone number: +54-0236-4420348 (taken from the local government website at http://www.junin.gov.ar/index.php?sector=0&div=10000&divLnk=634&sdiv=44447&lT=1&pag=10&descr=&gestion=3&categoria=).
The school name is "Escuela 12, Juan Bautista Alberdi". Just keep in mind they don't probably speak English! But if you can manage a Spanish conversation, I believe they'll be happy to provide information.
