Great Job Tom




Tom Brady Goes Into His Pocket for OLPC

Usually, you hear about NFL quarterbacks stepping into "the" pocket. In this case we have a quarterback reaching into "his" pockets. Tom Brady, the injured star quarterback of the New England Patriots has announced on his blog that he has purchased 1,500 XO Laptops. Tom is sending the laptops to Uganda where his sister is doing humanitarian work.

If you or someone you know is interested in donating XO laptops please visit the Amazon XO website. Something that is different about this year's program is that you have the option of purchasing just one computer to donate for $199 rather than purchasing two at $399.

Great - thanks for sharing. I'll bring an XO to class for everyone to see. This effort originated at MIT and was sold as the $100 laptop for developing countries. Some progress has been made, but more work is needed!
