Well, I (well, some friends and I) purchased 2 OLPCs today. One is going to a needy third world child and one is coming to Owensboro to be autographed by us and sent to Paige Kolok who is in the Peace Corp in Niger, Africa. Our hope is she will be able to use it to document her work and teach the locals.
