Please do, and thanks Owen, I'd almost forgotten about that.
I was one of the people who wrote to [EMAIL PROTECTED] on January 4,
2007 when the <cache expired> AP story on the OLPC project came out to
that effect (that they were considering a buy two, donate one program)
because like others I'm sure, I'm extremely curious about the hardware
in those $100 laptops, which as I understand it contains, among other
innovations, next generation LCD technology mainly aimed at reduced
power consumption. Every computer professional, programmer, and
hobbyist I know is very keen to have a look at one of those hand-crank
laptops and be involved in helping donate one to a child, and what
better way than to donate/get one.
Thanks again,
-Nick
