[kwlug-disc] donating hardwares for hobbyists or highschool tech classes

[Anton Avramov]

Hi Kyoung, 

I can use the X1 Carbon g3 for some of my daughters, so they stop
fighting for her mothers laptop :) 

I would also like to play with the Banana Pi and pine64, please. 

If not, I agree that the best option is to donate them to
https://www.theworkingcentre.org/computer-recycling/178 where they can
go to someone else that needs them. It's a great place. 

Cheers, 
Anton
