I have to agree with many posters, this project is the most seriously 
misdirected, biggest crock of shit I've heard of in years.

We're talkin' people in 3rd world conditions, without basic essentials 
of life, and some idiot wants to give them COMPUTERS?!?!?   WFT?  Where 
are they gonna get electricity to charge them, instruction in use, 
repair, software updates, etc.  And they don't have toilet paper, so all 
the keys on the left half are gonna go bad!
