Hi

And we are...

"The good news is that the OLPC team has worked, and is working, magic. 
 From dream to vision to reality in just a few short years, in spite of 
Microsoft's taunting, in spite of cut-throat competition on the hardware 
side from Intel and others, Negroponte and his team have succeeded in 
bringing the XO to fruition. Best of all, because the software side of 
the XO equation is free/open source software, it will only improve over 
time. Unofficially, the number of XOs in North America is now at 20,000 
and climbing. More developers means more activities. Everyone involved 
with OLPC, from Negroponte to Red Hat to the students helping out on 
IRC, should be proud of what they've done and what they're doing."
