Venezuela Purchases a Million Intel Classmates

Posted by timothy on from the olpc-opened-the-way dept.

An anonymous reader submits news of the million-laptop order from Venezuela of Intel's version of the kid-friendly laptop. The computers are produced in Portugal. "The machines, rebranded 'Magellan,' will also come with Linux pre-installed as opposed to Windows XP. This order alone is 50% bigger than the entire OLPC project has managed to sell worldwide."

    So what is told in SiCKO by Michael Moore is full of lies and noone of it true? Even the 9/11 rescuers being denied treatment and having to go, omg, to ~socialist Cuba~ for treatment risking getting in trouble with US laws in exchange of their lives?
