Please do, and thanks Owen, I'd almost forgotten about that.

I was one of the people who wrote to technology at laptop.org on January 4, 
2007 when the <cache expired> AP story on the OLPC project came out to 
that effect (that they were considering a buy two, donate one program) 
because like others I'm sure, I'm extremely curious about the hardware 
in those $100 laptops, which as I understand it contains, among other 
innovations, next generation LCD technology mainly aimed at reduced 
power consumption.  Every computer professional, programmer, and 
hobbyist I know is very keen to have a look at one of those hand-crank 
laptops and be involved in helping donate one to a child, and what 
better way than to donate/get one.

Thanks again,

-Nick
