At the store, you can get a computer that's a little lower-spec than a
Freekbox for $25-$70 or one that's quite a bit nicer for $150-$250.
You can also buy laptops sometimes. Thursdays are best for that.
The computers come with a coupon for a single support incident. I think
you can buy more coupons if you want. If you install Windows, you're on
your own.
You can get a 50% discount on store purchases if you volunteer for a few
hours. There's always things to wash or stuff to recycle.
Store hours are 11-7 Tue-Sat.
