[15:01] <dtchen> hmm, I should donate my HP laptop. Unfettered hardware (no proprietary drivers needed!), 8 GB RAM, 750 GB SATA HD, dual-core Pentium Tsomething or another (64-bit but no VT-x).
[15:02] <dtchen> takers? E-mail me off-list.
[15:02] <maco> dtchen: donate to what?
[15:02] <maco> occupydc?
[15:02] <dtchen> I'm doing my usual "shed extra hardware" run.
[15:03] <dtchen> (don't like to keep more than one computer at a time)
[15:54] <maco> my computers break enough i find spares handy
[15:54] <maco> :P
[16:12] <dtchen> you want?
[16:12] <dtchen> I can leave it with Merge @ ToI.
[16:13] <maco> *ponder*
[16:13] <maco> i dont have a laptop that can both be used as a laptop and do compiles in decent times
[16:13] <dtchen> I recently bought a new laptop to fix drivers, and it came with that 750 GB HD. I just swapped in my five-year-old 320 GB.
[16:14] <maco> my dual core doesnt know how to use batteries anymore, and my netbook doesnt suspend and cant compile, and so my 5 year old laptop is the only one that can  kind of do all of the above...
[16:15] <dtchen> you could just blow away the Windows 7 Home Premium install that's on it :-)
[16:53] <maco> why the crap is a computer you own running windows?
[16:53] <dtchen> it isn't!
[16:53] <dtchen> the HD has a Windows 7 install on it (I bought the laptop from Best Buy)
[16:54] <dtchen> it gives me the giggles that I've been doing the Ubuntu Friendly thing for over a decade :-)
