The fund has received a AAA-rating from the financial markets because it generated 35% average annual interest since 2000 and this every year, a guarantee to get back at least the initial collateral / 100.000.000 €, a dynamic capital protection, ... </DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV>35% average interest of 100.000.000 € that are "sleeping" = 35 million € every year ... you can buy quite a lot of 100€ laptops with that.... just keep the collateral for 3 years in the fund ... and you've got yourself 1 million laptops... then you take back your collateral ... the financier takes the 100.000.000 € out of the fund ... nobody receives the 35% interest anymore ... so we're back as the situation before... but the country has 1 million kids running around with OLPC's ... at no cost.</DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV>I need to talk this through with the appropriate person at OLPC ... but I don' t have any telephone number.<BR><BR><DIV>I hope this is the right forum to communicate this, but I find no way to contact people at OLPC.
