The One Laptop Per Child Program:
The Future of Family Genealogy & History Internet Education

Well, things are happening. Billionaire Carlos Slim, 
is planning to donate about one million low-cost laptops
to Mexico's poor children. By October 2008, mass
production of inexpensive computers, to be distributed
to schoolchildren in developing countries, using pictographic
icons, should begin. Intel is also involved in the distribution
of the relatively inexpensive Classmate PC.

The One Laptop Per Child program should have a worldwide,
far reaching effect on how family genealogy and history is
conducted and promoted, by individuals, groups and societies.

Respectfully yours,
