<p>Thanks for posting this Mitch! This is something I have
actually been focusing on lately for another non-profit in the
area.</p>
<p>I have laptops to loan / donate for this purpose. I don't
have 10 fully set-up but I could if I had some help (mostly just
need working hard drives and someone to help me install Win7 10x
times). Perhaps someone at NB could lend me a hand for
this?</p>
<p>Does anyone have old (working) SATA laptop hard drives to donate
for this purpose? Anything 60GB or over should
suffice.<br></p>
<p><br></p>

<p><br></p>
<p>P.S. I am also looking for a lot of small sized SATA SSDs for
this purpose (again, 60GB is enough, 128GB would be
fantastic). The reason being that these older laptops will
run MUCH better with an SSD drive and really help out these
non-profits more by not being sluggish. I already max out the
RAM on them.<br></p>

<div dir="ltr">Years ago I used to refurbish computers and give
them away for free to non-profits and low-income people.
Rebecca is someone I used to help out a lot. She is in need
of some laptops to borrow for awhile for her latest
non-profit. If you think you can help her, please contact
Rebecca directly.<br>

Thanks,<br>

<div>Hi Mitch, happy new years. How have you been? This
is a hello and also a help request. I've been with a
nonprofit intensive English school now for about a year. Our
students are mostly immigrants and refugees from all over the
world, and lately quite an influx from Syria. The school has
been serving the community for more than 38 years, but it has been
under financial stress the last few years. It came up at a
recent staff meeting that we need ten laptops for our computer labs
for a few months. This is only temporary and we are seeking
simple loaner laptops.<br>
<br>
I thought of how you used to reconfigure computers and donate them
through an organization. It was so long ago and I don't know
if you're still involved in it at all, but I thought of you when
this need came up and am taking this opportunity to say hi
:-) If you are still connected to the cause and can
help, please contact me. Any number of loaner can help.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>Here's a Thanksgiving article about some of our
students <a href="http://www.ozy.com/true-story/a-very-refugee-thanksgiving/66186">http://www.ozy.com/true-story/a-very-refugee-thanksgiving/66186</a></div>
