[LINK] Laptop program hailed

[Philip Argy]

Not sure if Eric's 'without comment' is a comment, but I'd like to commend
this programme <http://laptop.org.au/>  as someone who has been associated
with it for more than two years.  OLPC people are genuine, and their
achievements phenomenal, with only a shoestring budget and the brilliant
little XO devices.  Please do NOT confuse this programme with the
Government's high school laptop project, which is something totally
different!

 

Philip

THE lives of 5000 students in remote Australia have been turned around

during the past 12 months, courtesy of a small green and white laptop.
