Disclaimer

This registry was inspired by a topic on the OLPC News forum, [1]. Some people are willing to pass on their XOs to others, either as a gift or a loan. At present, the registry is simply intended as a way for people to identify themselves as needing or offering XOs. Neither OLPC, OLPC News, AuntiMame nor Sarah Elkins are responsible for any miscommunications.
