involved. I'm excited at the idea of children being able to have a<br>
laptop to connect them with the world and let their ideas become the<br>
future we will live in. I'd like to get some information on how I<br>
might be able to connect schools and OLPC. I really feel OLPC will be<br>
the conduit for spreading knowledge and help kids in creating ideas<br>
that will transform our world for the better.<br>
<br>
Thanks and I look forward to seeing what I can do.<br>
