For the sake of the children
It didn't cost me anything to put up a page to promote OLPC, buy one get one.

Negroponte/OLPC has catalyzed the netbook industry. If OLPC didn't come into being, would we have seen the Intel Classmate and the outpouring of OEM Netbooks? Eventually maybe, but I submit that it might not have happened sooner if things were left to be status quo.

For what it is worth at this point, technology merit aside, OLPC remains a good noble cause.

Promote/support OLPC if you can for the sake of the children, wherever they may be.

God Bless Negroponte.
