Hi Tony

This will be very useful to us in India Goa where we don't have enough XOs
for the kids to take home just yet....
and keeping rack of their work  isn't easy...however I do wish we can get
to the OLPC ideal of olpc someday soon.
The ownership concept is very powerful.




Thanks

Warm regards


Harriet
