[OLPC India] Ordering OLPC Laptops(XOs) for schools

The initial beneficiaries of the G1G1 program will be the countries
where Government have agreed to deploy OLPC in their respective states, and
are looking for some support, due to lack of sufficient funds.

In the near future,the cost of XOs will come down as their scale goes up,
and many organizations/individuals will be able to afford purchasing them
for their schools.
