- throwayayes_2 4y ago(sorry for the off topic reply) Hi pjmorris! I'm the person from this thread > https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34400463 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34400463 But now I'm throwayayes_2 due to losing lots of my personal data during house flooding last month. I wonder if you still have any spare laptop for me! Sorry to disturb this thread & thank you!
- pjmorris 4y agoHi, throwayayes_2. I still don't have a spare laptop. Even if I did, shipping from the US to Indonesia would be a challenge. I am hoping someone reading here who's closer to you and who has a spare laptop can help you.
- throwayayes_2 4y agoHi pjmorris! No worries & thank you for the reply!
