Default Re: MrsMOBEUS Laptop Donations

Folks, you all know that I've been a big proponent of education. This is especially important when it is in the area of medical practice. The field of medicine is becoming smaller every day and is just as important as the teaching and other service related fields.

If I didn't have this new house and my recent surgery to pay for, I would gladly donate to this cause. As it is, I'm going to try and squeeze out a few dollars this weekend, if possible.

Many thanks to those that have already donated.

Rob

So far the best deal that comes closest is from Dell UK

They have 2 models at £399 including VAT and shipping.

InspironTM 6400
Starter base unit for regular use

Intel® Pentium® Dual-Core T2080 Processor
Intel® Media Accelerator 950 Graphics Up to 256MB shared graphics memory
1024MB 533MHz Dual Channel DDR2 SDRAM [2x512
80GB (5400rpm) SATA Hard Drive

Or:
InspironTM 1501
Everything you need for word processing, e-mail, and web browsing

AMD Athlon™ 64 X2 Dual-Core Mobile technology TK-55
256MB ATI ® Radeon® Xpress 1150 HyperMemory™
1024MB 533MHz Dual Channel DDR2 SDRAM [2x512]
120GB (5400rpm) SATA Hard Drive


Find a Notebook, Desktop, Server, Printer, Software, Service or Monitor at Dell.


Looks to me like the AMD version gives you a bigger HD and better graphics...but the CPU will be a tad slower.probably not noticable though in everyday use.




There might be a few other options you need that will jack up the price...I am am sure Mr Mobues can help you decide though.


Keep in mind these are the cheapest laptops you can get, very basic with no frills!

Well I'm aiming for a minimum of at least $600US for you. If we need more, we'll
just have to push harder. But I'd Luv to thank ranger1033 for his unending support.

at the present time. I LUV YA BRO :-)

We're at $265 as of this posting, folks!

Better than a third of the way there!

Doesn't have to be much ... even $5 helps.

I know the joys of a new laptop, what all you can do again, etc...

Gimme a few days, figure out some finances, and hopefully I can help put the project over the top...

I really do wish I had the means to support this financially, but we're still in the midst of finding our feet with the new property and everything that entails, plus our newest little one on the way.

I can however state that THIS is the reason I first posted here . . . This FAMILY!! I always have and always will love this family for this reason among so many more and will be one of the first to stand up in defense of it.

You all kick more ass than can be described easily!

Much props and I'll be giving out rep as I can!

I wish i could give more, but money's tight now, however, I got a proposal:
I have up for sale a Flash website that i threw together for this cause - You will get a custom flash design opening page, you will get a Wordpress Blog, You'll get a photoalbum, I will pay for a domain name of your choice , I'll host you for free, I give you e-mail accounts (whatever@yourdomain.com)1Gb space, ftp-access etc.

The Flash welcome page is being tweaked as i type, but you can see first try here:
No1 flash
No2 flash

I'm only doing one of these, so highest bid wins, and it will all be donated towards MrsMOBEUS laptop

PM me for questions or bids. lets help The Mobeus family out!

Paypal is on the way from the GPN household...

We went and got my Mrs. a new lappy this week, so I have been able to see firsthand the joy it can bring...

Now to get back to setting it up and optimizing it so my Mrs. is even happier...

HigHTecHReDNecK is also sending me a donation via snail mail,
from a mobo and cpu sale he conducted. Thank You Mace :-)

And eascarface has donated a Legal serial number for Microsoft
Office Professional. Jade, you'll need to download Microsoft Office
Professional 2007 Trial from here.
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/pr...741481033.aspx
When you get eascarface's email with the serial number you'll have
to type it in to activate the trial into full functionality. The serial #
will only activate Office for (1) PC so you'll want to wait til you get
your new Laptop :-)
