OLPC Give 1 Get 1 Program


Nicholas Negroponte the chairman of the One Laptop per child program is going to be running an offer where you can pay the cost of 2 XO Laptops which will have one being sent to you and one sent to a child in a 3rd world country.
This is a neat little laptop that is designed to be rugged and hook up to many power sources also including a foot pedal that charges the laptop. Also the OS of the laptop is a Linux based OS so the potential for this little device is very large and apart from that it looks awesome.

Go to laptop.org and there you can sign up for an email reminder of this offer. If i have the cash at this time I will go and get one as I believe that this is a great cause. So if you have the cash and want to play with something a bit different get to laptop.org and get one.
