I was very interested in this program when I read about it in Reader’s Digest Magazine. I wanted to purchase laptops for my elementary school-age children and other kids in my neighborhood. Are sales available to American families residing in the U.S.? Although I live in the wealthiest state, and perhaps one of the wealthiest counties, in our city, many of the kids here do not perform at grade level and suprisingly never even enroll in high school. (Our high schools are in a separate school district from the elementry and middle schools so the high schools never know the kids exist unless the initially enroll). Anything inexpensive out there to support literacy is desparately needed right here in the states.

I teach in a rural agricultural county in NC. It would be nice to offer these computers to school systems to put in the hands of our numerous low wealth students. I am all for making a difference across the globe and feel this is a great program. But, I have to be concerned about the students that I teach in the USA that cannot afford the basic technologies. Have you considered offering these to school systems of course at a slight profit to be able to pay for your ventures abroad?

I wish I have found this information back in November I would have purchased one for my grandson.
I would appreciate hearing from you.
Thank you,
Kathleen

If the XO Laptop doesn’t have a hard drive because the hard drive is one of the main reasons a computer crashes, then are you able to save data and work assignments on it? Also, does it have a CD rom drive for putting a foreign language CD on the laptop to help with foreign languages you have to take during school?

How can I order and donate?

Cathy, I doubt you participated in this project since your response doesn’t seem to be worded in a way someone who had direct participation would speak. Plus it’s not a company but a non-profit organization. If I’m mis-understanding and your definition of involvement means buying one I got you. But with that said could you please let us all know where you’ve seen OLPC describe the laptop as “sexy”? Because I don’t see that anywhere but in the comments on this website.

How can I order “One Laptop”

I was excited to be a part of this kind project, however, was dissappointed to see the company use the word “sexy” to describe a product they are promoting for a child. What does that word have to do with anything related to a child? When you remove this description and notify me, I will gladly purchase a a laptop. Until then, what were you thinking?
