Jameson, we have scheduled your post to appear on olpcnews.com in 5
days. You may want to wait until after New Year's. OLPCnews gets the
vast majority of its hits during working hours Tuesday - Friday. We get
a lot fewer visitors during the weekend and holidays.

However, you are right that some people will want to make the
tax-deductible donation before the year's end. Let me talk it over w/
Christoph and Wayan.
