Have you thought about how you can make a difference in a child's life, and take a computer home to your family at the same time? This isn't just any laptop, this laptop is water resistant, it is charged using a crank, it is extremely durable, the laptop runs on Linux, and is internet ready. It is made to endure a rugged life. When you buy one of these laptops, your cost also pays for an identical laptop to go to a child in the developing world.
The organization that founded this is called One Laptop Per Child. Perhaps you are thinking that trying to get one laptop to every child in the world is too big of a bite to imagine, but it is an honorable mission. (Like my dad always said, if you aim for the highest imaginable achievement, and you only make it half way, you will achieve more than if you never tried at all.) Mass production of these laptops began just last month, but the project has been in the works for years. The organization has already initiated a number of pilot school projects around the world. So if you are still looking for a way to be Santa, here's a wa
y to do it times two.
