Paderborn, Germany - A German university is to give away free netbook computers to all its 2,000 freshman students enrolling this autumn, thanks to a donation from business sponsors. The University of Paderborn in northern Germany said Tuesday students would be allowed to keep the basic computers, a size smaller than laptops, when their studies were finished. All beginner students, including those in arts subjects, would qualify for the free computer. The sponsorship was only for a single handout, "but we hope this is not a one-off thing," a spokesman said. "If the outcome is good, it will continue."
