Hi Michel, Hi Ryan,

you probably know about the One Laptop Per Child.

Although it has competitors such as Intel's "Classmate"

it goes in the direction of what I imagine could be called "Open Education"

Portugal ordered ( and will produce ) half a million "Classmate" pc's for
its pupils aged 6 to 10 ( ? ),

and Venezuela placed an order for one million of these laptops for its
children...
