Linux Handhelds in African Schools

Posted by timothy on from the all-depends-on-execution dept.

    Its amazing how far things are getting at this stage... My hats off to the fine people who are out to make this sort of education possible for kids around the world. Its just a tad scarey that in my day we only had home made paint and a cave wall... although there was that posh kid with his abacus.
