Yes, classified as a terrorist organization, I believe.  I could be wrong, but
providing them with technology could land you in jail.  There has been some
scuttlebut about a 'netwar' (not my word) being waged by the Zapatistas upon
the Mexican gov't.  If that's the case, any computer donations could be used
for that purpose, and donators could be labeled as 'aiding and abetting' those
activities.

This is all hearsay and third-hand info - I don't follow Mexican politics at
all.  

Do your research before providing *anything* (even what might be considered
humanitarian aid) to any organization known as a 'rebel' group or classified as
a 'terrorist' organization.

IANAL, but there is no way in hell I'd provide the Zapatistas with *anything*,
given the current crackdown on terrorism.
