OLPC Laptops to be Made Available in US

Yesterday the The One Laptop Per Child organization announced the Give 1 Get 1 campaign, intended to help fund their efforts by allowing US citizens to get their hands on one of the ultra-cool laptops by essentially purchasing two, the other going to somebody in a developing country.

Sign me up. Not that I plan on making the laptop my work machine or anything, but it is a really neat device, and after tiring of it a few weeks after the purchase, I’ll give it to one of the local schools. And, as OLPC is a 501©(3) tax-exempt organization, your donation is tax deductible!

The purchase window will apparently be open for a short period of time starting November 12.
