As has been seen on many other blogs this morning the Give One, Get One program for the One Laptop Per Child program began today. This is a limited offering within the US and Canada as I understand where donating $399 to the program gives one of the laptops to a child in a developing nation and also delivers one for the child in your life (I’m sure in many cases that would be you!). I want to also mention my support for the program today and that I have submitted my donation.
I think this is a really good program and a good price for two machines ($200 of which is tax deductable). If you are able to donate you might want to head over there soon, the program only lasts for 15 days (ending Nov 26th, 2007)!
From the confirmation page:
