Android Tablet

[Bill Horne]

Mark,

Feel free to donate your old, worn out, barely working, aged HP laptop 
to the Bill Horne Memorial Laptop Museum. Our staff will give the unit 
proper care, assure it a fitting resting place in our collection, and 
conduct regular tests and inspections to make sure it's still functional.

We haven't yet obtained our tax-free status, but it's for a very good 
cause and we're looking forward to hearing from you.
