One Laptop Per Child - Give One, Get One Starts 11/12

The One Laptop Per Child project gets underway on Monday, November 12.  Starting that day, you can donate one laptop and receive one laptop for $399.  For that donation, you will be purchasing two XO laptops—one that will be sent to empower a child to learn in a developing nation, and one that will be sent to your child at home.  Additionally, T-Mobile is offering donors one year of complimentary access to T-Mobile HotSpot locations throughout the United States, which can be used from any Wi-Fi-capable device, including the XO laptop.

The XO laptop is a reasonably capable portable machine.  For a full review by Laptop Magazine, click here.  Although the outward appearance of the XO may not be especially lawyerly, it is possible that a lawyer could use an XO laptop for remote access to the office, to check and send email, do legal research on the Web, etc.
