[OLPC-SF] P & G laptop promo

[Christoph Derndorfer]

Hi Cherry,

thanks a lot for the heads-up about this effort.

However reading this sentence on the blog entry it seems like they already
do have a very-long-term plan:

"That being said, P&G came up with this program with ***a goal to
distribute at least 1,000,000  laptop for each Filipino students all over
the country for the next 24 years*** which is also to commemorate the 100
years celebration of the P&G Company."

;-)

Cheers,
Christoph
