well that didn’t take long, eH?
In February 2007 the One Laptop Per Child (OLPC) “B2-Test (Beta 2)machines deployed to children in launch countries”, and less than two full months later it makes an appearance at the dorkbot-nyc event (held every month at the not-for-profit arts space Location One)
Perhaps this user is a beta tester of sorts, playing a dorkbot theme song over and over and over in order to find and squash some bugs for CSound; or perhaps they’re just a DORK with ‘m4d c0nN3x’ to Nicholas Negroponte.
Either way I think this is a sign you can expect to see more of these creeping up wherever dorks gather near you. Can anyone say ‘m3s]-[ n3+//0r|<1nG!!1k!!!jk!‘?
Well, can ya?

hmph. she BETTER be a beta tester. stealing laptops from poor children…what is this world coming to!
nice graphic by the way.
well i think there was also rumour of a ‘pay $300 with $200 going to needy children’ scheme also. although that’s all that would be, a scheme. don’t think it’ll be happening.
thanks!
