Hmmm ... a lot of people will be upgrading their computers to PII/450's
and the like. In the U.S., one often donates the older computer to a school
or nonprofit organization, since the government allows a tax writeoff for
donations to appropriate nonprofit organizations.

Is the SSDF a "qualified" nonprofit organization?
If not, could they become or organize such an organization?
If not, would people be willing to donate their old computers, anyway?

I imagine that, for the U.S. to Sweden, the shipping alone would be
expensive. Also, alas, all my "old" computers are slower than P200's,
and even slower than the P90's. And, besides, they are Macs.

Another option to help the SSDF, would be to make one's computer available
to an SSDF tester remotely over the Internet, somehow - given the time
differential between the US and Sweden, it seems that this could be done.
