right harry....the machine is the XO (din't know about the -1) and OLPC is the organization.
BTW, have you browsed eBay for the OLPC XO's? Seems a good number of the buy-one-get-one deal are ending up there and pretty much selling for around the price paid for the two of them. I am wondering why the OLPC folks themselves do not run auctions and/or fixed price listings? Mayeb they simply cannot keep up with the amazing demand and do not have any inventory to use in that fashion.
I do a lot of moderately expensive charity auctions for an local animal shelter. We get more for the same items we have on their website...if people knew the deal was one to the buyer and one to the program, many good people would jump on them. I bet especially so if they had good enough reader ability.
And if setup as a charity with Mission Fish they could also generate income to help fund the program when sellers contribute a portion of their sale to the charity.
