ScreenPlayLab Free Linux Laptops to Artists...

I'm installing Linux on our first two free laptops now. Will give those out in a few days. Friends are giving me more Windows 98/2000 laptops to give away. After testing them, I'll install the latest Linux software and give them to deserving actors, writers or musicians who desperately need a free laptop. There's a waiting list. If you have an obsolete surplus laptop, please give it to me to rebuild and give to a struggling artist.
