Weird. I agree with the more money than sense comment.
I mean, why not give one person in targeted villages 10 laptops, and distribute them to children, or something? I do not get the dropping them from planes concept.
People, I seriously doubt they will actually "drop" them from planes. That seems to be hyperbole. I think the idea is that a helicopter 'airlift' can bring the gear to remote areas, thus bypassing centralised governmental distribution which some have claimed has hampered the OLPC project. -- Cheers, McTim "A name indicates what we seek.
