last year around same time we had a similar announcement about Acer , here is a thread documenting that experience https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-in/2011-June/010511.html , Hope this time around it is for real and should break all the sales records :-) , most probably i am visiting Nehru Place today will lurke around and see how things are taking shape. -Satya fossevents.in _______________________________________________ Ilugd mailing list [email protected] http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd
