Laptops for the homeless

The Daily Kos has an article about the US Labor Department's new website for the homeless.

Now this brings up some interesting scenarios.  Businesses and city governments are sponsoring and promoting wireless internet access in inner city areas. For example, we have a new wireless access hotspot in downtown Greensboro at Center City Park. I wrote about it on July 1st.

Could homeless shelters and organizations devoted to helping the homeless start drives to collect old laptops for the homeless to use while out on the streets?

It might not be long before we see a disheveled looking gentleman standing on the side of the road with an old battered laptop slung on his back holding a sign that reads, "Will work for RAM."

I don't think it's as farfetched as it sounds.
