Yes, but I also have an ulterior motive here.
Our website (bountifulbaby.com ) is Squeak/Seaside driven, and I want
to help ensure that we have local resources to support the website. If
I seed the local school with OLPC machines, *somebody* is going to
eventually dig deeper into eToys and discover the Smalltalk
underpinnings. And this could eventually potentially solve my support
problem.
And even if it doesn't, have I really lost anything? :-)
