The Eagle has landed!
After quite a bit of uncertainty, Robert (or Ronnie, as he’s called, and yes, those are both his accepted names) came through! We now have a cargo agent, and we’re in possession of 50 HP NC610c laptops, along with the batteries for the Aspire Ones and the Dell Vostros, which are headed for the AOET Rehaboth Primary and Rehaboth Integrated Secondary Schools respectively. The ride to Entebbe was brutal as ever, and I’m thoroughly exhausted. More later.
Kampala traffic is SWEET!

a strange fate that we should suffer so much fear and doubt over so small a thing =)
The HFC truck REALLY has come in handy!
Clever caption space for rent
Gorgeous! Now to test them, clean them and prep them for St. John's

I looked at your stack of laptops. There’s one missing! Ha Ha! :-) Glad everything worked out. Looks like you have a trusted agent in Ronbert too which must feel great!

I’m so glad that it worked out! I would have been very nervous, but it sounds like you found an honest person to work for you!
I’d give him a major bonus and sing his praises to anyone you can find who needs an agent.

How much does it cost to ship that many laptops from North America to Africa? I am interested in doing it.
