By the way theft was also a very big issue at OLPC still is and a very nice machine Intel has .

Our Answer
Based on a a dream a goal and a value system based on those who for what ever reason have chosen to stick it out at OLPC as others now seem to be leaving the program too.
There is a hidden fact as to what this value was and what some actually wanted to gain.
Most of this is applied, assumed and very social which cannot be pointed to directly but with in what can be seen as the aims and goals of OLPC as well as their achievements that are written down.
Intel seems to be giving a very targeted message to the very powerful world of Philanthropy that they do not agree.
I was in November 2007 in New York and got to attend Donald Trumps get rich or die trying type venue at the Jacobs Javits Center. It is now January 2008 as he has just announced a reality show called The Apprentice to be based on Africans for an African audience.
With in what LWSF has come to find out about world sustainabillity and how this works.
We welcome any one who can help even if for only a minute.
So I am sure everyone is grateful for the time Intel put into their limited engagement at OLPC.
OLPC will survive.
Good thing you did not adopt as I wonder how Madonna is feeling based on the vast unrest cropping up all around Africa and her soon to be next day in court for her African adoption of a child orphan who still has a living male relative his dad.
I hope they do not go to war in Malawi over this.
The third world is always a risk, either you mean it or you don't really mean that you want to help only just to visit for a spat.
But there are many committed men and women and even first world schools kids that plan to stick it our so don't worry Intel everyone gets the message now!
Hey Intel is there any thing else you did not mean?
