[kwlug-disc] Volunteer help wanted: save some laptops!

[Chris Craig]

How about:

without battery: price $X
with battery: price $Y

With $Y - $X large enough to offset the price of the battery,
procurement costs, etc. Maybe Computer Recycling can negotiate a
better bulk purchasing price with some local battery supplier than the
end customer.
