I’m a huge admirer of the One Laptop Per Child program headed up by MIT’s Nicholas Negroponte, so I just took advantage of the Give One Get One program, which ends on Dec. 31. You make a tax-deductible contribution to send an XO laptop to a child in a developing country, and they’ll ship you one as well for the price of $424 (including shipping to your home).
After the purchase is made, they tell you the machines will ship in the early spring.
Related from the BBC News: A child’s view of the $100 laptop — what your child can do with the XO at home.

Could yopvd me with the contact information, so I can purchase 10 computer to the one laptop per child program.
Thanks Noel
I just ordered it through the site, so your best best is to start there.
