Everyone has diffferent circumstances.  It's dangerous to make 
assumptions like that because they're not always correct.  The person may 
be using someone else's computer (a roommate or partner), or they may 
have acquired the computer in more prosperous times, or they might have 
been given the computer, or they may have scrimped and saved for months 
to buy a second hand one and have no money to spare beyond that, or they 
may have come into some money (tax return?), etc., etc., etc.

There is no such thing as a "freeloader" in Toronto Free-Net.  Our 
services are open to anyone regardless of their financial situation.  
That's one of the primary points in our mandate.  If people are able to 
donate, we hope they will donate according to their financial ability, 
but there is nothing that says someone HAS to donate anything.
