[Ldsoss] One Laptop Per Child

[Jesse Stay]

I wonder if the Church could help with these laptops.  If a religious
organization were to purchase some and hand them out I wonder if they
would be more likely to get to their intended destinations with
appropriate training.  Are they selling these only to governmental
organizations or have they approached charitable ones as well?
