This way there is less of a demand from the States to buy one of these computers. I think this sale is to combat black market dealings by saturating the market with legal OLPCs.

Not in the will it make it to shelves sense, but internationally the way it is intended. Also will these computers be serviced properly? I dont want to come off as the naysayer, because i think the project is awesome. And if it works will truely change the world. But I'd like to hear your thoughts on some of the concerns especially since you are advocating it.
