  • Excellent videos. It looks like even the African countries are finally on the verge of technological advancement.

  • Why are we wasting money on making iPhones when we could be doing this kind of stuff to every country in the world? Everybody should be on the same level of technology.

  • how is it dangress if one pci slot cover is missing my old g5 used to have pci slot covers missing

  • i really cry in my heart to come from avery poooooooooooooooor country

  • A great step forward but with the majority of the population earning less than $1 a day, $175 will be well beyond the average Ugandan.

    The digital divide will really only be bridged with free or very low cost solutions in the short to medium term.

  • A simple but effective way to help to bridge the digital divide in Africa. However how many people will be able to afford $175 when the average wage in Uganda on average is less than $1 a day for the majority of the population.

  • Interesting point and I see where you're coming from. I was sort of thinking that volunteers could check these computer components and monitors before they were shipped off. Then again, I suppose it would be better to pay people in Uganda to check them. Then again, they don't want to be a "dumping ground" so, hm...

  • great for Africa!!
