Android Tablet

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.
