[OLPC_Boston] [OLPC-NYC] Boston Book Fest - OLPC invite! (Sat Oct 16)

[Cherry Withers]

Hi Mafe,

Like SJ have mentioned, you can just run these on the XOs. I normally have
them on a thumb drive.
Yep, they are beautifully illustrated and written and have a great
environmental slant on most of them so they're quite
universal.
