If these pcs are donated to those who are struggling for food and basic comforts in life, who will pay for monthly ISP fees and repair costs when the pcs get damaged (and undoubtedly they will). And I seriously doubt that these people will be ready to shell outs francs to pay for any software to make their pc worthwhile to them. True they will be able to play solitaire but do you really think thats going to better their society?
