[DC LoCo] "Less is more" laptops initiative

[Robert Simmons]

I agree. There is already a charity organization in Arlington that refurbs
computers and gives them to kids that need them. They work with a local used
computer shop. It would probably be best to work with them to switch to
installing Linux or bsd

I'd much rather see us spend money with a local place that does refurbished
systems or if we want to stick brand new, we support a "real" tech business
like MicroCenter or TigerDirect.com and not pay the silly mark-up that a
bricks & mortar place like Staples has to charge to cover their
no-help-with-anything staff.

Just my $0.02 but i'd gladly throw in $20 towards this if it meant others
would help cut the price more significantly even for a deserving recipient.

Keep us posted.
