song’s lyrics:
Everything you’ve ever begged me to be
Could never have meant any less to me
Everything you’ve ever asked me to say
It’s so far away from the truth
Fake Messiah
Stitches sewn in your eyes
Fake Messiah
Prophecy now denied
Over and over and never again
Defending your insignificance
Useless intent hidden behind your mask
A cowards voice… Anonymous
So far away from the truth
Fake Messiah
Stitches sewn in your eyes
Fake Messiah
Prophecy now denied
Fake Messiah
Open mouth, drawing flies
Fake Messiah
Prophecy now denied
Generation failure.
Suspended in irrelevance.
Slit you wide open
Just to see what you’re made of
So far away from the truth…
Fake Messiah
Stitches sewn in your eyes
Fake Messiah
Prophecy now denied
Fake Messiah
Open mouth, drawing flies
Fake Messiah
Prophecy now denied

Why give a Laptop? See http://laptop.org and http://laptop.org/givemany
Substitute the word Laptop, with the word Education, and you have much of the answer. XOs make it possible to collaborate, learn, teach, and publish at no cost. They inspire new forms of learning, and attention to education. And the provide access to digital texts in places too remote to send and update physical books in a cost-effective way.

Toshiba Qosmio Laptop Model G55-802 Review
Here are the links that I know of that sell this unit:
http://www.toshibadirect.com/td/b2c/laptops.to?family=qosmio
Toshiba said they would show the computer here when they become available. Ive heard horror stories about buying direct but have no personal experience.
http://www.computers4sure.com/product.asp?productid=6201274
Computers4sure is accepting orders but the unit is on backorder (might be a good idea to get your order in and cancel later if necessary). I bought mine from here and they were excellent! Great commun, quick ship.
