I regret to report that Charity Logistics no longer offer the CyberCycle service. It was withdrawn prior to July 2007.

I have two Commodore C286-LT laptop computers and I am about to replace them, but what do I do with these machines? Give them to schools? That's no good, they're too old for the Internet. Give them to a Third World aid organisation? Probably no good again, 70 per cent of schools in some parts of South Africa have no water or electricity. Any suggestions?
