Dear All,
I am very grateful to Geoff Day for this message which I post on his behalf:
One Laptop Per Child.
There is a program called Give 1 Get 1 and it opened today and will be open
for 14 more days only. Deadline is Nov 26.

This is the only time we're making the XO laptop available to the public and
quantities are limited, so early purchasers have a better chance of
receiving their XO laptops by the holidays.
I have already paid online from Canada and the total cost with shipping was
$433.95 U.S. which is $421.26 CDN based on my location. Nice to see the
total cost go DOWN in CDN dollars! There may be duty on it but I have no
idea how much at this point.
This program is aimed at U.S. and Canada but here is a way to get them to
other parts of the world:

Please pass it on if you know others who might be interested!
Geoff
