The 'convert your W10 machine ot Linux Mint' program isn't catching fire.

"Our colleague Rieneke Post reports: “After Martine Postma talked about 
this on national radio, the trial sessions were packed."

We don't have access to NPR or even Montana PBS and posts on the library's 
website or in reddit/facebook, just don't get the job done. We talked 
about approaching BestBuy, Staples, and so forth to see if people are 
dropping their old laptops in the recycling bins so we could install Linux 
and pass them to non-profits. That depends on whether people recycle the 
laptops or stick them in the trash or a closet as well as the level of 
enthusiasm for retread Linux boxes in the non-profit world.
