I don't like Windows OS - one of the main reasons is its security flaws (particularly in Win10) that Quidsup has described in detail on his YouTube channel. I have dual-booted LL with Win8.1, only because it allows me to do things that are very tricky or impossible to do in Linux, e.g. my daughter loves playing Roblox - there isn't any Linux version of this game.

Gee I wish I could wiggle my nose and have this issue (too many older laptop computers) available to me IN South Africa while I'm there! 

I agree, if people unfamiliar with Linux realized what their old computers could do running Linux they might have a much longer life with them.  It's a shame to see what people get rid of although on the other hand it allows them to pass them along to me to "live another life" in South Africa ;)  Now physically getting them there is another issue since there is only so much luggage space, at least my husband has stopped complaining about both the weight and how many I am packing  ;D

At the help center I work with, I often see a bunch of famillies get together and arrange for a container to be shipped to South Africa.
Don't know if it's feasible for you guys but it looks like a good idea. But, maybe it's complicated legal-wise... I dunno I've never done it myself. :-S
Imagine how many computers you could put in there ;)).
