Right now people are singing the praises of the blogosphere’s collective expertise in picking apart the CBS forgeries.
Let’s put this blog’s collective brainpower to the test.

Hi Jimmy,
My name is XXXXXXXXXXXX and I am a member of XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX cathedral in XXXXXXXXXXXXX. I am helping out our priest, Fr. XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX, purchase and send some laptops with encyclopedia and word processing programs to a seminary in La Ceja, Columbia (Seminario De Cristo Sacerdote). They have roughly 200 seminarians with no computer or internet access.
I was just curious if you knew of any charitable organiztions or any type resources where decent used or refurbished laptops could be purchased for a decent price. If not, no problem.
I’m afraid that *I* don’t know of a good place to recommend, but how about the other readers of this blog? What good, cheap/refurbished laptop places do y’all know about?
Use the comments box to leave suggestions for our friend.
Much obliged!
You can check here. Some times they have lots of equipment other times non at all.

They need name, address, reason of need, and a little about the person/group. Since they are only in Madison, WI, they need to provide a method of transfer for the PC.
The above organization (Second Chance Computers) donates computers for charitable causes. You can contact me directly (alexjramos@yahoo.com) if you have any questions.
Thank you everyone for your recommendations. Your help is greatly appreciated!
A computer for every seminarian?
And with internet access?
Are you trying to drive them out of the seminary?!
