[ELECTRON] zerodollarlaptops and Linux [WAS] Old laptops. Anyone want em?

[Michael Orgel]

Thanks for this Marco.
Will try to look into it.
If anything happens in Glasgow following on from the discussion  
regarding laptops on this list might try to pop through.
Also very little happening for me with PD ---I got to totally caught  
up in a few other music projects but would still hope to go back to  
it at some point.
Let me know of any interesting Edinburgh happenings if you get a chance.
Best wishes
Miguel
