These laptops are still darkening my door.  Who wants them?

Because I have more laptops than I have power supplies, I really want to
give them away in bulk.  Otherwise, I'll have orphaned laptops without
PSU's.  It's trivial to replace them, but it greatly increases the work to
do so, and then they will end up in a landfill.
