This morning I bought a nice Core i3 Chromebook for $43. After installing
GalliumOS Linux (a custom version of Xubuntu,
designed specifically for Chromebooks), I'm going to resell the laptop for the
same price I paid for it.

Is there some digital inclusion activist on this list who would like this
Chromebook for $43? (I'm paying for the shipping.)
If so, send me an email off-list telling me about your digital inclusion work.

After the GalliumOS install, this Chromebook will have about 90 percent of the
capabilities of a MacBook Air -- with the
same light weight. It will run LibreOffice, Firefox, and Chrome very well. I'll
also install OBS Studio, the wonderful free screencasting
program. I recently used OBS Studio to create this screencast for my job.
