Negroponte’s laptop finally in production

[cloasters]

Cool! One nearly done, infinity to go. Step right up open hearted Members, one is nice, many will be so much better!

[danrok]

Infinity? I better print off some more dollar bills...

[Daniel ~]

Which means we have one to ship as soon as we clear the banks! ":O}

And thanks to George a nice start on the next one as well! ":O}

We could make something of this you know? Together AOA might really make a contribution...to world survival... But what we have here is "A Damn good start!"

One laptop away and one being wrapped up for shipment and ready to go... I feel better about our world already!

Paper books are expensive, even to us rich westerners.

The children who use these could never afford books. If you have a computer, you have almost free access to a whole library of books, right on your desk.

Not to be overly dramatic, more to understand my self, it occures to me that in war torn countries the children don't have to gather, don't have to become targets to contiue their educations...

We just bought our first laptop: transaction ID 27514927F5151333P.

We currently have $121.36 in the account for buiding to purchase a second one.

[cloasters]

You sent one all by yourself, is that right, Daniel? Now WE have sent one and are ~$79 short of sending another? Step right up, oh great and wise Members! This is an excellent cause that will do a hell of a lot of good. One more laptop means one more child with access to the wide world of learning. We all love to learn, this is a good cause!

Patti and I would very much appreceate it if that first one was seen as AOA waking up, streching and yawning at the start of a new day. One that begins with the light of chairty...

You guessed it! This makes me happy.

Has anybody got 2 bucks 50? That's all we lack for buying another laptop!

I'll toss a little more towards one this weekend..

Patti just told me she hasn't sent Gizmo Cloasters LP money as yet, I'm sending her out the door with a few choice words as I type,....there she's recovered and on her way...Sorry George for the delayed gratification!

I'm waiting until she actually goes out the door before I post this...

(marriage leaves one so little faith in humanity...LOL)

I'm still waiting.

There's she IS on her way... I'll tell you what went wrong when she gets back....":O}

(Anyone remember the George Burns and Gracie Allan Show... I'm living that show...)

Actually, his donation is already accounted for, as I covered it until the check got deposited.

[Daniel ~]

That's right! I forgot.

[Gizmo]

All it takes is $2.50, and we'll have purchased another laptop. Anybody feel like skipping a hamburger at McDonald's?

[Daniel ~]

Those of you who havin't stepped in as yet... you know any of us that have, could come up with another $2.50...right?

This is a two edge sword. We want to help them, we want to help you. We want to take what is to much and give it to what is to little. Thereby making everything a little bit better.

Can you afford not to give this to yourself? If not, even a dollar can lighten your day.
