I'm curious to hear what you think of it.

I read an article in one of the IEEE magazines recently about it. I 
think it's not really meant to ever hit our streets, so as not to 
detract from the original goal of providing the laptops to those who are 
currently deprived of technology. Can't remember the details, though. 
And honestly, the current fundraising idea of buy-two-get-one is a clear 
hint that we'll get our hands on them too at some point...

Bye
