Excellent job, guys.

To you and all people that donated many thanks for helping the people in Africa because I did nothing. :(

Did you contact anyone about donating hardware and have them turn you down?

How have I missed this whole project!?
I mostly read the News section only (my link is to news.*) but still! Not that I'm a rich guy... Living on wellfare at the moment but I still donate to Doctors without Borders every month (if only a little) and a project like this is right up my alley! I've been following the OLPC project with great interrest for some time now and I'm thrilled they've started deliveries in earnest because I think the best way to help a people out of poverty is education and communication.

Big ups to TR and everyone who helped with this great project! Hopefully you'll help educate a generation of computer-savvy people who in turn can help get their country and peoples out of poverty and into the international marketplace!

Not to be a wet blanket, but are you sending them an IT guy, too?

Read TR every day and never heard of this. I am either incredibly unobservant, or this wasn't publicized very well.

Great work though. Looks like this is going to help out a lot.

Did you also install F@H clients on each machine and configure them to contribute to team 2630?

I love it! Pics of the lab and kids, when all is said and done, would be great.

Great project! I didn't even know this was in the works...I was on hiatus from TR for awhile until I got my new computer (med school got in the way too) so I guess I wasn't around to hear of the project, but it looks like a fantastic cause. Kudos to the donors and the TR staff!

Wow!! This is totally awesome!! Gives me a warm, fuzzy feeling for this community. Kudos to you all for helping out and making this possible! It is most definitely a great cause.

Keep a look out for some donations from me in your future endeavors! I will gladly contribute what I can.

You just made my day, TR and community! This is just more that a Techie site, but more of a community of good people! Let's keep this up!

that's really great to hear. I'm glad that, even though it took a while, my donations from last December are finally being transfered (as tangible products) to Africa.
