1. OLPC has more revenue to do good things with.

2. A generation of Libyan kids maybe will become computer literate.

3. A computer literate, networked generation will further integrate Libya into the life of nations, AKA peace.

4. We have 1.2 million more potential Linux hackers.

5. Since Wikipedia comes loaded on the laptops, now we see what happens when 1.2 million Libyan kids decide to spend the afternoon editing. [Tags: olpc libya wikipedia ]
