Why does it have to be a laptop? There's alot of surplus, older desktop
machines out there that people would give away. Desktops are easier to
maintain (less expensive) as well.

You are probably not for real with an email address like the one you
have, but, on the off-chance that you are, you should go to Yahoo, sign
up for the Yahoo group FreeCycle in your area, and post your request
there. Maybe someone could help you.

I'm in a situation close enough to this that I can at least sort of validate
it. I'm not in a wheel chair but I have health problems and I find it
nearly impossible to sit at my desktop computer for very long. I managed to
get a laptop a few months ago and that has made it possible for me to both
enjoy the internet again and be free of pain.

I'm not looking for another laptop. I have an adequate one. But I thought
my experience might make this a little more believable. I was suspicious on
first reading it as well but I think I believe it.
