[kwlug-disc] (got one) Re: inexpensive laptop for student leaving overseas on Tuesday

[Andrew Kohlsmith (mailing lists account)]

Good morning, everyone,

Just wanted to post an update and a thank you, particularly to our resident angel Paul who went above and beyond to help… I was able to locate and find an appropriate laptop for my niece in time.

Thank you everyone, and thank you again, Paul. We have a great little community here.

-A.
