Well, when (if) things ever get settled down in places like Afghanistan, I'd bet the schools there would love to have just about any computer. Of course they need some electricity too, so info from sites like http://www.otherpower.com which shows how to build powerful but dirt cheap wind and water powered generators from scratch using super strong magnets from hard drives would be very useful. :) Hmm, a homebrew wind turbine, a rack of absorbed glass matt storage batteries*, charging and regulating electronics, PLUS a few pallets of old Macs. That would be quite the aid package, eh? :) Way cheaper than photovoltaic and even works at night if the wind is blowing. Everything but the batteries could be found used or built from scratch or basic components by local labor. *Those are the ones that look like a giant six-pack. They'll take rapid charge and discharge, can be discharged almost to zero without damage and gass off so little hydrogen under charge that it's as close to nil as you can get. They don't spill and can be mounted in any position. My sister delivers pizza for Dominos and drove around with one of those in her car for a week after the alternator quit working.
