I appreciate what Paul is asking however there are
many people who have no computer at all and cannot
afford to buy one - maybe a recycling center that
puts Linux on it and gives it out to people/communities.

Maybe the request to put out to the list is if people
have another or more laptops they could bring for
people to use for code walk-throughs.
