[MLUG] Anyone planning on getting a OLPC laptop?

[Pottinger, Hardy J.]

Just in case anyone missed it, $200 of the $400 asking price is
tax-deductable. Perhaps that might affect the math bouncing around here?

I think this is pretty clearly a shot at generating buzz, as well as
getting the boxes into the hands of geeks, with the hope that enough
geeks = healthy developer community. The asking price / donation /
limited time offer, is just for buzz. I doubt it's supposed to make
monetary sense one way or the other right now.
