My XO sour graping
The Give One, Get One program of the One-Laptop-Per-Child (OLPC) is about to end tomorrow and I have yet to get my hands on one.
My main contention is WHY is it only available in North America? I mean, I may be living in a developing country (aka third world) but there are some people here who can afford to buy one and give one to a child here. Why can't the OLPC devise a way to let those who can afford buying one from the Philippines to give one to a child in the same country? I know that the program prefers hooking up with national governments but at the rate things are going here in the Philippines, I highly doubt if Microsoft will allow a Linux-running XO laptop to invade its turf via the gov't route. Oh well.
