[CS-FSLUG] finding free laptops for missionaries

[Ruth Marlene Friesen]

Hi folks,
Been real busy of late, but will explain in another email. Here let me ask a 
question on behalf of some missionary friends who are heading back to an 
island in Irian Jaya. They work with Wycliffe and are going to reduce a 
tribal language to a written form and translate the Bible.

Thing is, they hope to train some of the tribes people to do some of this work 
themselves, so they (the missionaries) work themselves out of a job after a 
couple of year. To do this they need to round up some laptops.

I asked if they had to have Windows. Kerry said no, but at least able to 
handle the kind of work Win98 can do. I take it they have no experience with 
Linux, but they are willing to consider it.

I had found some web sites for them, that collect equipment for missions, but 
they checked those out and found a lack or hindrance in each one. I  would 
give you those links, but my Windows crashed, and I'm still sorting through 
the imported emails now in KMail. Can't find that one yet. :( 

They are leaving in about a week, so I thought I better ask in case someone 
else has clues or leads.
