Can a laptop change the world?

,----[ Quote ]
| Rwanda has now ordered more than 100,000 XO laptops and plans

| the funding coming from the sale of mobile phone licences.
| Finally, OLPC has found an African country which appears to be
| committed to going beyond a pilot and making the laptops an
| integral part of its education system
