Later this year we will certainly demonstrate our XO-1 successes in Haiti

Yes they will laugh us out of the room when they hear how low 32GB+XO
capital costs really are -- then the trick will be reinvesting these
priceless funds into Human Capital With A Purpose:

- robotics class pros
- actionist librarians
- maker project lesson planners engaging STEAM teachers can truly run with
after the demo
- teachers who take Student Journalism / Environmental Realism into the
streets like http://orangestreetnews.com
- TLC = Technology Learning Coordinators *of all kind...*
