With respect to Jorge's questions:
1) All devices are 128 Gb now
128 GByte not Gbit but yeah ((:
2) They ship with MDWiki and en Wikipedia at least.
3) Everyone who has received a device has also agreed to fill in a
questionnaire at some point. Havn't gotten around to that bit yet.
4) I also collect what people want it for when they reach out. Answers
vary from home schooling, to living on a boat, to time capsule, to
hurricaine backup, to medical clinics in the developing world, to local
libraries.
5) Most are going to the US but also some to Europe, Canada, and
Australia. The rare device to the DRC, East Timor, and India.
