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

[Mike Lee]

I agree too that the beauty shot of the XO needs to be updated. That  
looks like a B2 machine.

Having some shots of kids and teachers collaborating with Sugar is  
key, but for me, rounding up a racially diverse group of kids whose  
parents will sign photo releases is more of a challenge. I may attempt  
a shot like this at our May 16 user group meeting.
