[IAEP] Venezuela orders 1 million laptops from Portugal

[Tomeu Vizoso]

Maybe we should ping education ministries as well, these are the ones
that are being questioned right now by the public opinion about the
convenience of spending so much money on laptops. They may be
receptive to putting some more education (for free) on the machines ;)

Tomeu
