There is nothing about the new program on the Wiki. We have to get that clarified. I'm copying this to the responsible managers. Unfortunately, the situation of GiveMany remains entirely unclear. When I inquired earlier this year, I got radically different answers on the terms available. The last quote I got was cash in advance for delivery within ten months. Delivery date to be set after 60 days. But it was stated some time back that GiveMany is to be entirely restructured, with no news since. There is no useful information about this on the Web site. Anyway, I'm willing to help anybody try to order some laptops for any local program. I'm going to be talking to various children's museums and their likely funding sources in the near future.
