I have been reading these posts with interest since I joined in 2006.
Is there a feasible way to get the laptops to India? I live in the U.S.

I visited India so I understand some of the issues surrounding this.

Donn

India's official response to a project to spread low-cost computers
among school students was not too enthusiastic. But that has not
stopped techies from seizing the opportunity.
