PHILADELPHIA (AP) ―

A pharmaceutical company is joining Wireless Philadelphia in donating hundreds of used laptops to community organizations.

Shire Pharmaceuticals of Chesterbrook and Wayne is giving 400 laptop computers to Wireless Philadelphia. That organization will bundle the compuers with Internet access, tech support and training programs and then donate them to several community organizations.
