Using B2's for spare parts is a excellent idea. Again though, please encourage them to trade in their B2's. We have said we will replace B2's with MP's for developers. Replacing 23 units will take a bit of time and planning but we really do want to retire the B2s. -- Richard Smith <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> One Laptop Per Child _______________________________________________ Devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel
