Quite an interesting article that's definitely worth reading!<br>
<br>
Key points (according to NN that is;-):<br>
* 900K XOs deployed so far<br>
* Peru has ordered 2.2 million XOs, with 350K already deployed<br>
* teachers love the XO so much they postpone retirement (a classic!:-)<br>
* OLPC "lives from hand to mouth"<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
