          Want to buy your own Chromebook? Good luck. Best Buy's website shows 36 models of Chromebooks priced under $500, the low-cost models that are popular for students. As of this week, 33 of those models were sold out.

          Maybe a donation program could be set up, I'm sure there are many people out there with an old but still fully functional laptop sitting around that may be able to help pick up the slack from our government.
