Hi all,

Every Friday, the Washington Post Express (a free daily also available
online) has a special pull-out section called "Styles" which usually tries
to convince you to buy crap you don't want or need.  However, once in a
while there's something interesting. ;-)

Today (2008.11.21), the section featured "Gift Guide '08: Star Tech -- Give
the latest gadgets from a teeny phone and cool fuel tracker to a pig-powered
iPod dock".  Among the featured gift recommendations (Page E7):

| TWO FOR ONE: Philanthropy can feel good in the wallet, too, not just
| in your heart: For $400, get two XO laptops from One Laptop Per
| Child (Laptop.org). An underprivileged child overseas gets a kid-proof
| laptop, and then the wee one in your life scores one, too.

A picture of the laptop accompanies the short blurb.

The on-line version is TEMPORARILY available at:
