There are a few laptops around -- Hemant and Assiem have been borrowing mine off and on. Hemant has one now, I have one, Manu has....we can time-multiplex their use :-)<br><br>And of course, you should in parallel apply to the developers program too!<br>

to all the selected people, the selected projects are really very good.
Anyways my Coding Tutor project was not selected, but I am really happy
to learn that I can still do it under OLPC (Hoping it is in 35 good
projects).</blockquote><div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> It would be really nice if I get a Laptop to develop my
project and more so if that could suffice as Internship requirements,
so that I can devote full ample time to it. Hoping for a nice Summer to Code, despite not being selected.</blockquote><div><br>Rahul Bagaria<br>NSIT, New Delhi<br>India <br></div><br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
