I think working computers should be exported and used (something not 100% obsolete either). Still someday down the road everything will fail, what is africa going to do with all t…

Sidestepping the issue that Quadraman and Bunsen are so angry about (for the record, I'm with Bunsen, but I'll say no more but that) If Contiki gets ported to that, I am getting o…

Since exporting our old computers to developing nations was mentioned, here's a video that someone put together to explain a bit about how it works:
