The one-laptop-per-child program wants to send laptops to kids in developing nations, or in other words, Megan and my future students. Starting mid-November, if you send a laptop to one of these kids, you’ll get one for yourself too . These laptops use open-source software, so you will not be subjecting the world's poor to Microsoft Vista colonialism or a shoddily constructed ibook that will explode three times like my ibook did. Already have a laptop? Send your get-one to David Markson. I hear he’s a total luddite and uses an obsolete system of novel writing (popularized by Nabokov) called: notecards.

are you writing advertising copy for apple now? you amaze me, meghan austin. hey let's go to the happy village again sometime and smoke cigarettes until our tongues turn black.
It would be bad advertising, since I'm telling people to send non-apple computers to foreign countries. Against apple and un-patriotic! Yes, let's meet at the happiest place on Earth.
i think we should all start writing on notecards only. can i blacken my tongue with you at happy village, too?
yes! let's all go to happy village right now and smoke cigarettes and write on note cards!
