Reporter needs laptop computer

Do you have a working, internet-ready laptop computer that you aren't planning to use this winter? Would you be willing to give, loan, or sell it to Montague's non-profit community newspaper for a very modest price? We'd be ever so grateful. Here's the backstory:

With the help of many of you, at our November fundraiser the Montague Reporter raised enough money to replace its most egregiously overtaxed office computer, to install new memory in several others, and to make several other small but important technology upgrades. Thank you, and special thanks to Mik Muller and Veronica Phaneuf, who are contributing a great deal of time and expertise to this project.

However, with winter coming on now, we've realized that if we also had a very basic laptop, we could set the editor up to work in his living room and keep the heat turned down in the office several days a week. We think we could save hundreds of dollars this way! Can you help? Let me know through this site, by clicking the "Contact Montague Reporter" link in the Reporter area on www.montaguema.net, or by calling the Reporter office at 863-8666.

Thanks in advance! Jen
