Quote:
A LAPTOP computer set to revolutionise education world-wide is the prized possession of an Adelaide electrical engineering student.
University of Adelaide student Joel Stanley, 21, is one of only two Australians to own an early-model laptop from the One Laptop per Child (OLPC) program.
The brainchild of US MIT Media Lab co-founder Nicholas Negroponte, the program aims to provide laptops to children in developing countries such as Brazil, China, Egypt, Thailand and South Africa at a cost of less than $127.
