[OLPC-Philippines] OLPC XO-1 being listed in TipidPC.com, hopefully not from Contributor's program

[Marife Mago]

Hi Jerome,

I hope this is not.. this is not good not only for the cause but for us
Filipinos.  We have a couple of contributors program that's been approved
and never heard about them.

Do you have a way of exploring this? Just to find out...the quote 'I bought
it  from a former OLPC pinoy developer' we don't have much XO floating
around aside from the Contributors Program...well not that I know of.

Thanks for bringing this up.
