Peru Orders 260K OLPCs, Mexico to Get 50K

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the see-we're-not-scared dept.

eldavojohn writes "Perhaps in response to recent news that the lawsuit against the OLPC may be a scam, Peru's government has announced they want 260,000 OLPCs and a Mexican billionaire by the name of Carlos Slim has also asked for 50,000 that he wishes to distribute in Mexico. Things are looking good for the OLPC."

    Well... id say that Mexico has, by far, the most english-learned society in latin-america and certaintly more per-capita english speakers than spain, for example.

    Other countries are kicking our buts cause we have a politicall disaster here and because democracy is something that our "leaders" do not enjoy that much, and economic liberalism is even less popular.

    Kind of where the US is heading, BTW, should you guys keep letting the bushes steal your elections.
