Who are the sales team, apart from Nicholas? Is there a way for any of
us to talk to them? I, OLPC Chicago, and others out here are working
on Illinois HB5000, The Children's Low-Cost Laptop Act, which proposes
to put laptops in up to 300 schools. It has passed the Illinois House
and gone to the Senate. It needs amendments, and we are working with
the Lieutenant Governor's office on this. We would like to coordinate
our efforts with OLPC's.
