<br>> Subject: Re: Fwd: taking an XO to uganda for 2 weeks<br>><br>> Bringing a laptop to Uganda would be a great thing to do. I could lend<br>> you my laptop, though it's always been a little odd with networking.
<br>> But I don't really know if that's a problem with the machine, or the<br>> networks I'm around, or what. I'm copying Brian Fitzpatrick at Google<br>> in Chicago, as they might have extra laptops (they have had some in the
<br>> past). Also copying the Chicago OLPC group in case anyone else has one<br>> to spare.<br>><br>> In summary for those just now copied: Andrew is looking to borrow a<br>> laptop for a trip to Uganda, and he's in Chicago and leaving (I think)
