OLPC Update

February 22nd, 2008

I am still in love with the concept of OLPC but increasingly disenchanted with the dopes running the project.

I ordered one for me and one for a kid in Africa on December 12, 2007. Here’s the email update I asked for yesterday.

“Dear Mr. Scevak:

Unfortunately, I am unable to give an exact shipping date. I suggest that
you contact us again during the last week of February and I may have an
exact date by then.

Thank you.

Sincerely,

Victor”

    Niki- For you–and others–who want to make a difference in the world by contributing technology, consider supporting http://www.theafghanschool.org/. This school is using technology produced NComputing (the company I work for), which is shipping in volume (over 500,00 sold). See also http://www.itpro.co.uk/wireless/features/148353/lowcost-computing-gets-professional-for-afghan-school/page1.html for more about that project.
