Hi all. I hope many of you are enjoying a much needed break or at least are getting close to it.
For our upcoming trip to Bolivia in a couple of weeks, we are looking to find one or two laptop computers that we can take down with us and leave for the community. Preferrably we'd like to get them donated, but we may be able to pay up to $250 each for them if that was our only option. Only catch is that they need to be new enough models to be converted into Spanish.
If you have any leads for getting them donated (in a short time, we need them by June 26) or if you know someone or someplace that would be willing to sell a laptop or two for cheap, please email me (jreiners@u.washington.edu ) or David (dallosto@u.washington.edu).
Any information you might have would be helpful.
Thanks, Jen

hi guys,
i also need one of you to obtain at least one laptop (or possibly 2) that is new enough that we can convert it to Spanish. we are taking them to the teacher. we would love to get these free, but if we have to pay that is ok too. i don't think we want to pay over about $250 though. the first place i would look is UW surplus. also, you might want to email out the EWB-UW listserv (the big one) and the EC listserv. i think craig's list would be a great place to look too. lastly, robyn has said she might know how microsoft can get us computers, so you might want to check this avenue out too.
at any rate, we want at least one and as many as we can get our hands on, but 2 would be great.
thanks,
donee
p.s. please email me back and let me know who is taking charge of this. this is a priority b/c we promised them we would bring at least one computer. _______________________________________________ EWB-UW mailing list EWB-UW@u.washington.edu https://mailman1.u.washington.edu/mailman/listinfo/ewb-uw
