People ask me about the OLPC program more frequently now referring to the commercial with that nice asian guy from Heros. I find myself explaining that first of all they should buy an eee instead and second not for nothing, but there are better options for donating to the less fortunate. Is this wrong of me, to feel that this is a scam that people have fallen for?
