[Yr7-10it] OLPC : Give One Get One starts soon

[Christopher Jansen]

I'm sorry but they need pencils and paper ...not laptops... is the west
really that delusional that we think people in "developing nations" would
even have somewhere to plug it in. Give me a break...The programs heart is
in the right place I guess. But I think that somewhere like amnesty would be
a much better place to put your money.
