<br>
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.<br>
<br>
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.<br>
<br>
Thanks for bringing this up.<br>

The listing said: "hard to find collector's item. i bought it from a<br>
former OLPC pinoy developer last December 2010."<br>
<br>
I hope this is not a unit that came from the Contributor's Program.<br>
Even if this is an old XO-1 unit, the Contributor's Program is built<br>
on trust and contribution. Therefore it is not ethical to sell<br>
something that was entrusted to the recipient with the hope that the<br>
free laptop program will result into something good.<br>
