The HeliOS Project, a non profit that refurbishes thrown-away computers and gives them to kids who cannot afford them is having a fund-raising raffle.
This isn't your run of the mill stuff. Two refurbished laptops are being offered, an Alienware M5500-R3 and an Acer 5720 TravelMate are among the
offerings.
You can go to

This is a great cause and some great prizes. A child's exposure to technology should never be predicated on the ability to pay for it.
The drawing will be held on July 3, 2009... time to be announced.
