I can't even get tracking for mine so I'm assuming some problem delayed my
shipment. I've seen several posts from people on this forum
http://olpcnews.com/forum/index.php who had address problems. I got this
phone number, 1-800-201-7144, and am on hold now waiting for a human, but
this at least seems more promising than the "all circuits are busy"
message I got through the phone number given at laptopgiving.org
(1-800-201-7144).
