[extropy-chat] Help send a laptop to Kenya

[Joseph Bloch]

The Kenyan Transhumanist Association is about to open up a "Knowledge 
House", and they have put out a call for laptops to be donated to the 
cause. The Knowledge House will help spread science education and 
Transhumanist memes in Kenya.

I have a laptop I'm willing to send over to benefit the cause, but 
unfortunately the shipping costs are simply beyond my means right now. 
It takes a minimum of $148 to ship it there.

That's where you come in.

I am selling my copy of Carl Sagan's excellent television series 
"Cosmos" on eBay right now. It's a VHS copy of the entire series, in a 
nice box set. There's a little wear on two of the box's corners, but 
other than that the tapes are in great shape.

I'm selling it with the hope that I can offset the cost of shipping the 
laptop to the KTA. I've listed a "buy it now" price that will exactly 
cover the price of shipping, but if the bidding gets higher (and I hope 
it does, for their sake), I'll just send any excess along as a gift.

Yes, you can definitely buy Cosmos for less money. This is entirely a 
gimmick to raise funds to send a badly-needed laptop computer to some 
fellow Transhumanists in a place where both the technology and 
Transhumanist ideas are badly needed. Your money will be directly 
helping them.

Thanks, all.
