"ARAHUAY, Peru - Doubts about whether poor, rural children really can benefit
from quirky little computers evaporate as quickly as the morning dew in this
hilltop Andean village, where 50 primary school children got machines from
the One Laptop Per Child project six months ago."

Excellent article on practical experience of XO rollout. Remember that
the "Give One, Get One" program is still running through December 31. Or,
just donate a single OLCP. Not a bad way to give something back to the
community we receive so much benefit from, and to spread the philosophy of
Open.

Happy Holidays everyone.
