p.s. One anti-theft thing that I forgot to mention in my previous list serve response was that we label and ENGRAVE all the laptops with big bold numbers and codes in various locations on the laptops so anyone can tell exactly who they belong to. Its pretty obvious they are from a school or organization, not individually owned.
Through public outreach, contact with the local police, and local word-of-mouth, most everyone in the region knows about our project. So anyone seen with one of these laptops who isnt a student or teacher at one of our schools would be reported to the authorities. Even communities with schools that dont have computers want to cooperate and "stay on our good side" because they know we are gradually expanding to other schools in the area. We find that if we give them incentive to cooperate and keep them invested, theyll bend over backwards to help.
