Thanks Sandeep. I'm looking into speaking with some of the faculty members
in the university sometime this month and will be sure to mention our next
meeting this Feb 28. I believe one of the faculty in the Communication
Department mentioned the OLPC to her class late last year as one of the
topics for discussion.

I also just received Melch's demo unit. Thanks Melch.

Best,
John
