Students fire up their OLPC laptops in Nigeria! Woot!
“Hassounah shows the students how to boot up their open-source laptops. The bright colors were designed to appeal to children, but the bug-like antennae are mostly practical. Two wireless receptors magnify the laptop’s ability to net an Internet connection, which varies in availability throughout the test regions.”
“This school is the first test deployment site for OLPC’s XO laptops. OLPC installed a satellite dish, power generator, and modem to give the school electricity and Internet connectivity.”
