If you have a laptop - used or new - capable of<br>running a browser, please consider donating it to this worthy (non-profit)<br>cause by bringing it to the Center for Future Civic Media before Friday<br>morning. You can leave it anytime before then with:<br><br>Lorrie Lejeune E15-349<br>Christina Xu E15-348<br><br>For more information, please read the project proposal here:<br><a href="http://www.media.mit.edu/~amerigo/Samasource_1000Jobs_State_Proposal_26Jan2010.pdf">http://www.media.mit.edu/~amerigo/Samasource_1000Jobs_State_Proposal_26Jan2010.pdf</a><br></div></blockquote></div><br></body></html>
