Yes. The minimum order from OLPC is 25 units @ $250, which comes to
$6250. We will be happy to work with you to explain XOs and Sugar
software to your donors.

Last year, before his promotion, current Gov. (then Lt. Gov.) Pat
Quinn had a plan to put XOs and other laptops into schools. I don't
know what has become of it.
