As far as I understand one would be given to the child anyway, so who cares what the buyer do with the other one? Great idea, I hope that lot of people will buy this laptop. I'd like to have one by myself but I'm not in US. Larry, it doesn’t matter. As far as I understand one would be given to the child anyway, so who cares what the buyer do with the other one?

I would like to get the chance to give 1 and get 1 over here in Denmark (Europe). In online fora and discussion groups I visit, others are stating the same wish. I hope that the US+Canada offer is just an initial test, and that the concept will be spread to other countries if the evaluation period is a success. So, please, citizens of USA and Canada, buy lot's of OLPCs! Same as above. I would like to get the chance to give 1 and get 1 over here in Denmark (Europe).
