XOSå kom der endelig email fra OLPC folkene om deres “Give one, Get one” tilbud. På mandag kan borgere i USA “få lov” til at købe den lille grønne bærbare computer for $399. Og som særlig tilbud kan man gratis benytte sig af T-Mobile’s wifi hot spots i et helt år. Det gør tilbuddet endnu bedre for en som mig, der bor i New York. Der er T-mobile hotspots i hver eneste Starbucks café i hele byen. Nærmest hvert eneste gadehjørne.Uuh, skal man investere?

Emailen siger:

You are receiving this email because you requested a reminder from One Laptop per Child about our limited-time “Give One Get One” program. Starting Monday, November 12 at 6:00am EST, you will be able to donate one XO laptop to a child in the developing world and also receive a laptop for the child in your life, by visiting www.laptopgiving.org or calling toll-free 1-877-70-LAPTOP.

“Give One Get One” is the only time we are making the revolutionary XO laptop available to the public. For a donation of just $399 ($200 of which is tax-deductable), you will be giving the gift of education. Additionally, T-Mobile is offering donors one year of complimentary access to T-Mobile HotSpot locations throughout the United States, which can be used from any Wi-Fi-capable device, including the XO laptop.

We will send you another email when the program begins on November 12. Until then, thank you for your interest in OLPC. We hope you’ll join us in our mission to bring education and connection to children in even the most remote regions of the globe.
