Thanks the comment. I also would not want it to go to the government. I would rather just buy one and give it ti the child I wanted rather than that. Hi Henry. Thanks the comment.

No coordination required for this one. I will contact the OLPC organization and see if it is possible to have the laptops sent to a private organization for distribution and post their answer here and on my website. I would NOT be in favor of contributing if the laptops are to be sent to the government for distribution. It's all too easy to imagine them being handed out to political supporters or given to anyone but the children who most need them. Henry http://www.panamaretire.net Don Ray,
