Who do we know at google who could help with that? Despite google fonts being a client, I don't know anyone there who could help with this :( In any case, which laptop they might give us may not be the best to recommend. There are 2 obvious candidates to me, the new "olpc laptop" available from olpc inc to USA resident individuals for us$200 plus us$100 shipping from china, with other countries shipping fees varying; and the One Education "Infinity" which is us$350 plus shipping from Taiwan/ Australia. The olpc unit ships with sugar and its cheaper so seems a better bet given both launched around now. </blockquote> Despite Tony's remarks, I wouldn't dismiss the Raspberry Pi 3 or similar single board computer (est. 80USD for basic kit w/ 8GB SD without screen). I have an idea to try to deploy them in cultural / community / youth centers and directly to kids. They are cheap enough that parents might afford them, plus possibly they will kill TV time which is goooood. </body> </html>
