as perhaps more of an outsider here, i'd say that this is not
"unambiguous".  people with the laptops regularly refer to them
as "my OLPC" -- perhaps encouraged by the unfortunate "PC" in the
acronym.

as for numbers:  sequential is good, but starting higher than 1 might
give room for adding structure later if necessary.  (e.g. the 200 series
of releases might be a break from the 100 series.)
