<table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0" ><tr><td valign="top" style="font: inherit;">Hi James,<br><br>The OLPC XO deployment model I am considering for local school pilots will all be interactive using USBs to contain the content to be used and Sugar as the application to support this. I am not considering providing a static option as this will require a printer and all the related consumables involved to support this. There is also the related support and maintenance responsibilities required from the school if this is provided.<br><br>I have yet to identify what option will be used to back-up the files used other than using a server for this purpose. I would appreciate your inputs on the matter.<br><br>Thanks.<br><br>Charles<br><br><br><br><div><div><div><div><div><div><style><!--p.MsoNormal, li.MsoNormal, div.MsoNormal {margin:0cm;margin-bottom:.0001pt;font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman";}_filtered {margin:72.0pt 90.0pt 72.0pt
