So like I was saying, I wanted to see if I can get people to "donate" money to me to buy a new laptop. The one I'm using is getting pretty long in the tooth, at least for my uses, but it's still a good little machine, anyway... To add a bit more incentive I was thinking about giving away the laptop I have now (A PowerBook G3 266Mhz with 192MB and 30GB HD) to a random donor once I reached the $2800 mark required to get the purty new TiBook I've been eyeing. But after a quick check it seems the law has something to say about this.

It is aparently OK to give someone money for something, or to give someone money for nothing. It is not ok to give someone money for a chance at something. Oh, and, it is ok to give money for a competition for something. It's all very confusing and quite silly. So I can't have my little raffle. :/ Of course if you want to make a donation, you can. The PowerBook fund currently stands at $6.15... $6.00 of it is mine.
