    So THAT'S how we solve these horrible problems: with laptops! Just what I'd expect from the shielded western techno-elite.


    If only little suzie had a laptop she'd not have to get pimped out!

    @commentotron: It's not the laptops that will help solve the problem it's the power they will get from the knowledge they will receive by using the laptops and accessing the internet and the world. Maybe if Suzie knew how to use a computer and get some typing skills, take some online classes she could find a job. Tell me you haven't use the internet to find answers no one else knew. These children will be able to access news, weather for farming, even be able to order the things they need learn and live. We don't need to feed these people, they need to learn how to feed themselves and giving them the tools to so is better then just giving them rations and shoes.

    Exotic locales, high production values, this thing, and all their other advertising, could not have been cheap... here's an idea, how about putting the money they spent on this towards, you know, actually shipping the damn things.
