a thousand pounds of laptops

Today we received the first large shipment of laptops from the factory. I’m told it’s about a thousand pounds. The boxes are all labeled with the countries the keyboards are built for: The US, Nigeria, Thailand, Argentina, Brazil and Libya.

Each of the large boxes is a “five pack” and each smaller box is a single laptop. I managed to get this shot before the feeding frenzy began.

    Are the laptops going to be sent to Thailand? I heard that Thailand is having second thoughts: http://bangkokpost.net/News/28Nov2006_news04.php

    We have a set of laptops for Thailand, yes. There are still folks inside of Thailand that are investigating and evaluating the laptop.

    Chris,

    I’ve struck out the quote mis-attributed to you. But if in fact there is a spare OLPC XO, the offer still stands.

    Not that Walter or Nicholas would ever allow it…

    Can you give some more detail on this: “Although making the machines available to the developed world at low prices would help minimize the laptop’s resale value on the gray market, Blizzard says OLPC has opted not to at this time.” http://hardware.newsforge.com/article.pl?sid=06/12/01/1546208

    Thanks.
