Yes, thanks Giovanni.  OLPC is inspiring in general, and the actual
hardware is really cute!!

Milan, IMO the ability to distribute information via these things is
one of the most exciting aspects to me.  The WWW is changing society,
and because of OLPC, these changes should more quickly reach the
countries that participate.  It's especially fascinating to consider
that OLPC countries might well develop Internet-friendly education
systems faster than the developed world.


On this note, is there any groupware around for people who would like
to help out with teaching materials for OLPC countries?  Sort of like
Hands Across the World, but for teaching material?
