Laptops for Third World students

130 points posted to Advertising and Marketing, Education, Laptops by roi12341234 Feb 23

Everyone has heard of the various $100 computer projects for the third world. I think its not needed, There are probably thousands of older model working laptops sitting in the hands of American students. If Dell offers the right incentives (a rebate ..) alot of students would be willing to change their old laptops to new models. Dell can collect these old models and start a program to reship them to the third world. This will generate revevnues and excellent publicity for dell, while using existing hardware for the third world. Impossible? with dells control of US colleges i dont think so.
