Have you heard about the project to get rugged, inexpensive laptops into the hands of kids in poor countries? Wonder if I should help make it happen?

You should, you should assist the One Laptop Per Child program. But wouldn't that cost some money? Yes, yes it would. What if ten Members ponied up 20 bucks each? Or twenty Members could chip in 10 simoleans? Yes, either way, we could send a laptop to a very deserving child!

Giving feels better than getting sometimes. The One Laptop Per Child program gives simple, ruggedized laptops to kids in poor countries. There is no shortage of children who's lives will be greatly expanded by having a computer. And no shortage of responsible, open hearted people in rich areas of the world. Let's prove that we understand this opportunity!

Help make the OLPC (One Laptop Per Child) program a success. Please rummage your piggy banks and couches, a small donation goes a long way!

If a kid in a benighted land asks for one of our AOA case badges it would really make my day! I'd send him or her two of them, you betcha.

English is a lingua franca in much of the world. I wonder if the OLPC will be boycotted in former French colonies?

Not like francophones would turn their noses up at the dreaded Anglais.

Oh yes they will. Wonder if there's a chance that OLPC's can be delivered with an OS that isn't presented in English? Would localized tongues such as KwaZulu be going too far? Kinda doubt that any version of Windows caters to such a small "audience."

Yes, I know that OLPC's come with a Linux OS. I was just saying.

It's an election year. Woo-hoo. Only pre-approved candidates appear on the ballot. Ever. Approved by whom? Not me! So, like my approval means something? Dream on. Bring me gum-gum, dum-dum. And a happy Easter Island to you!

Was Easter Island the easternmost Polynesian outpost? Do I remember this correctly?

Stewie Griffin, a child of sweetness and light. Yeah, lemon juice and Stygian darkness. Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys. Name the author of that tune, two AOA Forums case badges will be on their way to you, postage paid.

Pretended ignorance? That's one method of dealing with the present, but I can say that I've never employed this gambit. Yeah, right.

Tut, good sir. Falling to the level of a sleazy reference to the it's not dinner table conversation. Mea culpa. Where's dinner? You can't eat our case badges. You could, if you're crazy. Order yours today! Send me a Private Message.
