Yes, payment is made upon order.  If this is true, it might turn out  
to be extra work for OLPC, but only people who have lost their credit  
card statements from their order are likely to have any problems.   
OLPC won't allow itself to be seen as fraudsters, and contract law is  
still well intact, and I don't think they want to be continually in  
small claims court.

One further question to consider - did none of the 1st day order'ers  
receive the December 24th(ish) mail about not having their laptops  
for Christmas?  If they did get the mail, then OLPC had their data  
just a month ago.

My prediction: everybody will get their laptops.
