WHAT WOULD YOU DO WITH YOUR EXTRA LAPTOP?

Starting Monday, Nov. 12, Americans and Canadians will have the chance to add charity and innovation to holiday shopping lists. The One Laptop Per Child organization is offering the chance to purchase two XO laptops—one to be given to a child in the developing world, the other to keep or donate locally. It's called "Give 1 Get 1" and the $399 offer is good for two weeks. The XO laptops are durable laptops designed for education and connecting kids in developing nations who have never worked with computers. The One Laptop Per Child Organization has had verbal agreements from many developing country governments to purchase the laptops in bulk, but concrete, signed orders have not been as forthcoming as project founder and chairman Nicholas Negroponte had hoped. So the group has opened up the sale of the laptops from Nov. 12 to Nov. 26 to Americans and Canadians in an effort to spark worldwide sales. They will be delivered by Christmas. SO, WHAT WOULD YOU DO WITH YOUR EXTRA LAPTOP?

    Donate it to Charity

    This really sounds like a great program. If I had an extra laptop I would definitely donate but as of now I only have one. Does anyone know where I can donate old cell phones? I have a a few of those.
