OLPC Friends/PurchasePool

Please add your name, email address and how many laptops you want to the purchase pool below. Whenever the number of laptops people want reaches 100, I will coordinate a purchase from OLPC through the Change the World program. Laptops cost USD$259 plus AUD$15 for postage and so the Australian/NZ price will vary. I anticipate making a first purchase by the end of February 2009, so get your names down quickly.

If you don't want to wait for a purchase pool laptop, and want to participate in the "get one give one" program, you can purchase laptops at OLPC Australia as they are running an Australian G1G1 program, and laptops there cost USD$468.95 and it pays for one laptop for you, and one for someone else.
