Slashdot pointed me to David Pogue’s article Laptop With a Mission Widens Its Audience from New York Times. I like the article… from someone who is a critic of technology but isn’t braindead regarding it’s purpose. I really really want one. Actually, I’ve got to eMates which I love, and I want to see how a useful, appropriate computer might be used.

One Laptop Per Child — XO Giving

Starting November 12, One Laptop Per Child will be offering a Give 1 Get 1 Program for a brief window of time in North America. For $399, you will be purchasing two XO laptops—one that will be sent to empower a child to learn in a developing nation, and one that will be sent to your child at home. If you’re interested in Give 1 Get 1, we’ll be happy to send you a reminder email. Just sign up in the box to the left and you’ll receive your reminder prior to the November 12 launch date.

I hope I can get one up here.
