  • I love XO laptops, but you must have small fingers

  • Well, they are for kids, aren't they?

  • but..who teaches the kid how to use/take care of it????

  • There's a lot more to the program than just hardware and software. One reason that OLPC likes to donate a whole school or other institution is to ensure that there's support available. (There are also forums and wiki's to help folks with support)

  • ... im not being negative buttttttt if i gave ppl sumthing to help id give em food u dont rly need a LAPTOP to survive.. but thumbs up

  • When I was in college, I had a very positive experience in raising funds for these laptops and eventually being able to give them to children who needed them.

  • DFTBA :D

  • awesome

  • dftba

  • project for awesome=awesome!

    =D

  • It's a great idea with great implications......but I would have to agree with the Friedrich Nietzsche quote...laptops are sources of convenience and broader connection to the world around us...but it is not always universally applicable.

  • Awesome :)

  • I've heard of this before..somewhere.. But great charity! I love that each child who gets one gets it to themselves and gets to keep it! It's like free education for them:) so controversal.

  • I'm going around sharing my love for Friedrich Nietzsche! :D

    "The surest way to corrupt a youth is to instruct him to hold in higher esteem those who think alike than those who think differently."
