OLPC Launches Buy One, Give One Free Program
Tha_Big_Guy23 writes "For the first time, and for a limited period only, people in North America will be able to get their hands on the XO, MIT professor Nicholas Negroponte's rugged little laptop that's designed specifically for children. And for each cutting-edge XO purchased in the West, another will be given to a child in a developing country. For $399, customers can order a laptop for themselves; bundled into the price is the cost of delivering a second XO to a child a poor country."
it won't be long until a couple of insert third word currency of choice will equal $399 and the deal will be reversed.
init 11 - for when you need that edge.
Why would I pay $399 for a OLPC laptop when I can buy a NORMAL full featured laptop from CC for $299 on Black Friday or $400 any other day?
The first post mentioned 'God fearing'. Isn't a man who gives while not fearing God more righteous than one who gives out of fear of himself not getting to heaven.
