What we're missing now is the complimentary push for a big, ambitious

Being that this initiative is being developed in the US, I sure wish we
weren't put on the back burner. We sure could use the OLPC program in
our school, but from what I read that won't be a possibility for a few

If you can convince one of the states in the union to pony up for the cash
to guarantee a million units, I'll bet you could be on the front burner
pretty quick. Seriously.
