Perhaps my son will be better qualified - having left yesterday for a 2 
year stint in the Peace Corps.  He will teach on a Pacific Island at a 
vocational center - no electriity.

I made sure he was aware of the OLPC program before he left.  Even told 
him that after he understaood the goals of his program, and his 
students,that if he concluded that access to computers would be 
relevant,  that I would make inquiries to see if  the OLPC folks might 
be wanting test sites.

What I didn't tell him was that some fancy-dancing might be necessary.   
That the loud-mouth on edu-sig teeing off on the Big Boys  at  MIT must  
have been a different  Arthur Siegel. ;)

My expectation is that he will conclude that OLPC is not relevant to his 
mission.  But he will be the expert in the field, not I.
