another  person  whom  we  can  ask is  Sudhakar  chandrasekaran  (aka
"thaths") who  has been doing _exactly_  the same thing  in some other
african  country   (is  it  namibia?).   I  haven't   spoken  ever  to
thaths. and I dont know if he  is still doing this but I'm sure he has
the knowhow to do bicycle powered laptops, etc.,.
