Collective Brainpower Resquest!

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!

Jimmy was born in Texas, grew up nominally Protestant, but at age 20 experienced a profound conversion to Christ. Planning on becoming a Protestant seminary professor, he started an intensive study of the Bible. But the more he immersed himself in Scripture the more he found to support the Catholic faith, and in 1992 he entered the Catholic Church. His conversion story, "A Triumph and a Tragedy," is published in Surprised by Truth. Besides being an author, Jimmy is the Senior Apologist at Catholic Answers, a contributing editor to Catholic Answers Magazine, and a weekly guest on "Catholic Answers Live."

  1. Second Chance Computers
    PO Box 8131
    Madison, WI 53714
    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.

  2. The above organization (Second Chance Computers) donates computers for charitable causes. You can contact me directly (alexjramos@yahoo.com) if you have any questions.

  3. A computer for every seminarian?
    And with internet access?
    Are you trying to drive them out of the seminary?!
