This is a terrific, innovative initiative. Through December, donate a laptop to an impoverished child for $399, get one for your child as well. The laptops are very simple and durable, with amazing battery power, and the software is designed so that children in the same geographic area can automatically collaborate! This is a shoot for the moon thing, but if a grandparent wanted to go in on this with us, we'd be interested. It would be for both Will and Ro, really.

If I get nothing else, I'd like this. Yes, I know it's too much. I added it to my list to remind me why I want to make scads of cash. They renew the offer periodically, so I'm not even worried about the time limit on the site.
