It's a nice thought, that in buying your PC under this Dell/Microsoft/Red arrangement, you would actually be helping someone in need. How does that thought mesh with reality though? You always should look a gift horse in the mouth to see if it's for real & this one, sadly, is not. Even AIDS experts now agree that donor money is better spent on basic health needs and clean water than on AIDS relief to help people in Africa (see the Associated Press 1/18/08 article entitled "Experts Call for Rethinking AIDS Money" at http://tinyurl.com/37zj3y ).
'Giving a patient medicine without food is like washing your hands and drying them in the dirt'. But worse yet, sometimes AIDS relief can actually DO MORE HARM THAN GOOD in Africa. See "Reason #3" at http://tinyurl.com/2nwg37. " So, you think you're doing good in buying such a PC, but are you? To know what's really going on in the world and who needs to be helped you've got to get some real news, like news at:
