If you can convince one of the states in the union to pony up for the cash
to guarantee a million units, I'll bet you could be on the front burner

I just wonder if we couldn't get Sugar onto our existing systems

laptops (and Quanta to sell us a million laptops?)? It seems like an
easier bar to cross.
