When I was in Buenos Aires in mid-December for a 3-day workshop
organized by the Argentinian MoE I also met my former Argentinian host
brother and his cousin who had received their Classmate PCs in late
November.

So I know that at least two of them have actually been distributed (and
no, this time not based on dubious information from Kigali;-)

I'll get in touch with some people in Buenos Aires to try and figure out
what the current figure there is.
