[nmglug] can lend a computer in ABQ - loan for linux class this weekend

[Mark Galassi]

Dear ABQ and Santa Fe folk,

Last time I asked y'all really delivered and allowed an Albuquerque kid to take my workshop.

I'm teaching it again this weekend, online with Jitsi, and once again have a student who needs a laptop to use for the weekend.

The first thing we do is wipe an old laptop and install a GNU/Linux distribution.  Then we program in Python for the weekend.

One of my students lives in ABQ (he says "close to the Taylor Ranch area" in ABQ) and does not have a laptop they can wipe, and I just found out now - too late to get someone to bring one down there.

Does one of you have an old laptop (just needs 4gig of RAM) that you can let someone use for the weekend?  Note that they will wipe the disk.

They could come to your area to pick it up, if it's not too diametrically opposite.

If so, could you please email me at mark at galassi.org or call me at 505-629-0759?

Thank you!
