[Marketing] Ars Technica article on 250, 000 XO-1s for India: old Sugar home view in photo :-(

[Christian Marc Schmidt]

Hi Sean--I think it would be great to generate a repertoire of studio images
against a white background. I can help generate screenshots that we can put
on the screens--I agree it's easier to do in post.

Does everyone agree this would be worthwhile (in addition to also shooting
images of Sugar in use)?
