Quite an interesting article that's definitely worth reading!

Key points (according to NN that is;-):
* 900K XOs deployed so far
* Peru has ordered 2.2 million XOs, with 350K already deployed
* teachers love the XO so much they postpone retirement (a classic!:-)
* OLPC "lives from hand to mouth"

Cheers,
Christoph
