  Just in case any entrepreneurs are reading this, I could live with that. Such a package would also help my students a lot as well. We can probably find refurbished laptops from local recyclers the issue has always been the cost and faff factor of an Internet connection. A 3G mobile Internet pay as you go dongle is affordable now and again (£2 per 24 hour period, £4 for 3 days &c with low download caps for streaming content) but not all the time.

I have to pay a line rental and then a monthly fee for a broadband package on-top of that. About 2 miles from here they have fibre-to-cabinet and download speeds that max out the wifi card in my old Thinkpad (around 3Mbytes/sec). A reliable half megabit even would be fine for remote desktop and email and wasting time on forums. I do big downloads from local cafe anyway because of the frustration factor.
