For those interested in the OLPC project, there is a limited public
release kicking off. You pay for two, donating one and the second is for
a child you know.
Unfortunately it's available only for US and Canadian buyers. So if you
have US/CAN contacts or a forwarding address the best time would be now!
Of course Linux users want to get there hands on it for the hack value.
By actually purchasing two, you feel only half as bad.

One Laptop per Child
Give One Get One starts today!

From all of us at One Laptop per Child, thank
you for your interest in our mission. Today marks
the first day of our limited-time "Give One Get One"
program. Starting today, when you donate an XO
laptop to a child in the developing world, you'll
receive one for the child in your life. The price
for the two laptops will be $399, $200 of which is
tax-deductible. Additionally, T-Mobile is offering
donors one year of complimentary access to T-Mobile
HotSpot locations throughout the United States,
which can be used from any Wi-Fi-capable device,
including the XO laptop.
Please visit www.laptopgiving.org to participate
in Give One Get One and discover more about the
revolutionary XO laptop. You can also donate by
calling toll-free 1-877-70-LAPTOP (1-877-705-2786).
This is the only time we're making the XO laptop
available to the public and quantities are limited,
so early purchasers have a better chance of receiving
their XO laptops by the holidays.
Once again, thank you. We sincerely hope you'll
join our growing community of people working to
create a connected, educated, enlightened future
for the world's most essential resource - it's children.
