Purchase a laptop, and child gets 1 free. Project aims to help developing countries

The project that hopes to supply developing-world schoolchildren with laptops will sell rugged little $188 computers to U.S. and Canadian residents at two for $399 with one of the machines given to a child in a developing nation and the other shipped to the purchaser by Christmas.

The One Laptop Per Child project expects that its "Give One, Get One" promotion will result in a pool of thousands of donated laptops that will stimulate demand in countries hesitant to join the program. It will be offered for only two weeks in November.
