[Hidden-tech] old computers

[michaelbix]

I have a very low-income friend with disabilities moving here (with  
her young child) from Maine in the near future to pursue a graduate  
degree at Antioch.  Her computer is not working, and she has no idea  
how she will pursue a university education without one.

I promise to wipe the drive thoroughly (I have an "erase to zeros"  
method to do that) and have been IT-admin for a couple of non- 
profits... if you or anyone else has an old but serviceably-useful  
laptop to donate to this worthy cause.

p.s. am going to Vancouver for two weeks on Tuesday so would prefer  
to make arrangements prior to leaving, thank you.
