"Recipients of the laptops will most likely include Brazil, Thailand, Egypt, the State of Massachusetts in the US, Cambodia, Costa Rica and hosts of the last WSIS forum, Tunisia. "
--I would like to know what makes Messachusettes so special to get these laptops, (Aside from the obvious point that their a bunch of liberal commies-), i know alot of parents that could use them for their kids to learn in the (tm)Peoples republik of california. All kids should be able to have access to them.
I thought that also... My guess would be because this is a program at MIT..
I wonder too.
I never thought of them as a third world country. Politically, maybe. But, not financially.
If the doodads have networking of any variety, I'd love to get my hands on a few. They'd make ideal things to use on the road for email and whatnot. At least you wouldn't consider hari-kari if you accidentally left one behind at a hotel.
