Subject: [TLUG]: Laptop Request

I'm forwarding this from one of my Ryerson colleagues in Journalism. I can
vouch for the authenticity of the request.

If anyone has a pentium 3 or 4 class laptop that they'd like to give to a
good cause, let me know and I'll set up the connection.

Failing that, pointers to inexpensive laptops would be appreciated.

Eventually, I suppose that the OLPC project may be an answer to this kind
of situation, but for now....

Thanks -
Peter
=======================================================================

I do field work in Uganda from time to time, and over  the years I have
come to know a young man named William Bukenya.  Until September his job
was selling newspapers in front of the Sheraton Kampala.

I'm not sure how he did it, but somehow he got admitted to business school
at Makerere University. this is no mean feat, esp for a guy from an
extremely poor family who has zero connections to anyone important. My
husband and I have been helping with school fees, but the university is
asking business students to acquire laptop computers.

Does anyone have a laptop that is reasonably current (Pentium 3 or 4)
and in not-bad shape, that they would consider donating?
