Thanks for that Tim, now I know how to deal with Christmas this year. For a while now, I’ve given where it’s needed, rather than where it’s expected.

Giving where it’s needed rather than where it’s expected sounds like a great plan! ~Tim

This is great!! My 8yr old daughter has been asking for a laptop. Now I can get her one and help someone less fortunate. “For all U.S. donors who participate in the Give One Get One program, T-Mobile is offering one year of complimentary HotSpot access”. That’s another plus!!!

That is a nice offer from T-Mobile. If you get one, I’ll be interested to hear how well it works for you and your daughter. ~Tim

I knew about the project for a long time, what startled me was the offer of 2 for 399.00

Ah, that makes more sense. They have been adamant that the XO would not be for sale to the general public until they made this offer. ~Tim

I think it’s a good idea too.
I’m a huge supporter of anything encouraging education.
*Which of course includes teachers.
There are a lot of down sides to this idea, but hopefully it’s a program that will do more good than harm in the long run.

It does hold exciting potential. ~Tim

I was quite startled to read that today and I think it is a great idea .. a definite win/win situation

Startled? I didn’t expect that! ~Tim
