左圖是巴西總統Lula手拿收到Intel送的Classmate PC並與特別顧問相視而笑的畫面。Classmate PC是給小學生用的,窮人也應該比較負擔得起。
Intel的新聞稿說明如下:
Here is the story, straight from an Intel Press release issued today:
Brasil President, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, received symbolically the first Classmate PC from Intel from the hands of his special advisor, César Alvarez. The educational platform was delivered to Alvarez by the President of Intel do Brasil, Oscar Clarke in a meeting held in Brasilia.
The equipment is a part of a lot of 30 units that were delivered to the Brasilian Ministry of Education (MEC), with the purpose of being evaluated by specialized technicians from the Government, SERPRO, Research Centers and Universities.
As a component of Intel's support for the Federal Government Project “Um Computador por Aluno – UCA”, Intel will donate 800 units to be delivered in April. The educational notebooks will be tested in two public schools in the cities of Piraí (RJ) e Palmas (TO).
