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.

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.
