I had signed up for the automatic reminder weeks ago and it came bright and early this morning:

Give One Get One starts today!
From all of us at One Laptop per Child, thank you for your interest in our mission. Today marks the first day of our limited-time “Give One Get One” program. Starting today, when you donate an XO laptop to a child in the developing world, you’ll receive one for the child in your life. The price for the two laptops will be $399, $200 of which is tax-deductible.

So a quick paypal link later and I’m the expectant owner of one of these super cool machines, and glad to know I’m sending one off to someone in the developing world. It would be cool if somehow that created a pen pal relationship of sorts at the same time, I’d love to be able to track the journey of the other laptop and the kid(s) who end up using it.

I’m not sure what I’ll do with the one we get, but if I had the means I’d buy one (two) for everyone in my family.
