(I'm not sure where to send this...)

In the recent Xconomy Boston interview, NN says
"The precise numbers today are 1.1 million [laptops] out and a back-log 
of 400,000-700,000, depending on how you count."

Those numbers aren't reflected in the table of laptops shipped in 
http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Deployments from which people built maps of 
deployments.  The numbers look about the same as they were at the 
beginning of 2009 and add up to 557,932 laptops.

If someone has better numbers for a deployment, they can go to its page, 
click [Edit with form] and update its laptops field.[**]  The table will 
update after a while or if you purge it.

[**] I understand that when this summary feature first appeared, some 
OLPC staff were uncomfortable about sales numbers gaining visibility.
