Planet Geek!: OLPC G1G1 final numbers

[penk]

A couple folks have asked me how successful the OLPC "Give One Get One" program was, since we participated in it to get Zach his XO.

OLPC News reports:

OLPC just announced that G1G1 raised $35 million dollars with the sale of 162,000 X0 laptops - half (81,000) destined for Haiti, Rwanda, Cambodia, Mongolia, Afghanistan.

I'd call that pretty durned successful.
