There should be computer labs open. The Internet usually doesn't work
anyways. So I wouldn't consider it to be so critical.

Honestly wouldn't it make sense to just walk into a store and buy one?
I don't see why a mail order computer is going to be that much
cheaper. Even the corrected price of 1221 euro is hella expensive,

Anyways I can't really volunteer since I'm already lugging my brick of
a laptop. Probably one of the Europeans can do this.
