Abandoned Stuff by Saskboy

I may be able to get you one in time for Christmas. No promise on having it before Christmas, but it’s still possible. Why would you want an XO computer? To give a young child a unique, durable, learning computer that doesn’t look or work much like your own. You also end up giving another child the same kind of laptop, helping them learn in ways not previously possible for them.

If you do it OLPC’s way, you pay £50 ($110) for shipping to Canada in late Dec. to January 2009. That is HIGHWAY ROBBERY.

I’ll import machines for Canadians if they are willing to pay the SWEEP recycle fee ($5) for laptops, and $30 handling for my trouble, and of course the Give 1 Get 1 cost plus USA Amazon.com/xo shipping. I can get them picked up in Montana in batches of 4 or more. They would then be available for pick up in Regina, Moose Jaw, or south of Moose Jaw if you don’t want the small laptop box re-mailed.

So when I have 4 orders, I’ll work out payment with each person, and get things rolling. People can probably pay directly for the laptop, ship to my USA address, and my family will pick up the laptop and import them to Canada. There is no duty on laptops you only pay GST/PST/SWEEP at the border.

You can leave a message below if interested (and I’ll email you back), or better yet email me. My email is on my blog near the top of the main page.

(I bought an XO, and gave an XO to a child last Christmas. It’s a nifty, eye catching, ultra portable, low power use, computer. It’s not sized well for adults, but is great for a geek.)
