The One Laptop Per Child (OLPC) project was intended to provide children too poor to buy PCs (and pretty much anything beyond food and shelter) with a user-friendly, virtually-indestructible computing device. Its primary market is the Third World, and I’m glad to report that they’re making inroads on that front by making a deal with the city of Birmingham, Alabama. It’s heart-warming to see that people whose lives are blighted by having to live in Alabama are finally getting some good news!
