I've been told that this pledge project is not directly affiliated with
the OLPC project, and that the OLPC laptops are not available in the US
at this time.  My information came from Christopher Blizzard, who is
leading the software effort for the OLPC project.  If "we" (read any/all
GNHLUG chapters) are interested in learning more about OLPC, Chris said
that he'd be happy to come up and talk about it at a meeting (I didn't
even have to twist his arm, I swear!).

Have a great weekend!
