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.
