I wish :) We have no choice but to continue to distribute secure laptops in
Haiti as these are Give1Get1 redonations that are already (largely) moved from
the USA to Haiti where the developer key process is unrealistic+overwhelming to
largely offline deployments.
No more unrealistic than upgrading them. All it takes is running a collector
USB key over the laptops, mailing or emailing the small text file generated to
the
US, and receiving a small text file back.
Hmm, we'll consider it but honestly when we head to rural Haiti
deployment(s) without reliable mail services for some one-time orphanage
deployment/update visits starting this wkd, the above might not work.
I supposed we could consider dev keys by text/SMS in theory?
Realistically I say far better to invite you down to carry them in by
motorcycle--Haiti's a shockingly beautiful, eternally misunderstood and
increasingly stable place--while Spirit's flights from the US remain not
so much more than last year's $59.
