Recently I reported on the school that bought 700 macbooks for children to use. The Libyan government has gone one better and decided that the One Laptop Per Child (OLPC) foundation was worth the investment and have placed an order for a laptop per school child currently in the system as well as a server for each of the schools in the country. All in all this comes to a spend of  £135,000,000 which will help OLPC to develop orders with other countries around the world.
