Re: [sugar] [Localization] [Proposal] .xot bundles, for translations

Sorry to bother the list, but I have to buy a new laptop during XOCamp (old one finally went totally belly-up). I was thinking of getting a $600 Dell with Ubuntu. Can anybody give me a mailing address where they could take delivery on such a machine? Please include the reason why I can trust that
