Did you know that Intel has bloggers, too?

For a while now, my primary technical contact at Intel with respect to Classmate PCs has been Jeff Galinovsky. He's their Regional Manager for Intel’s classmate PC activities in North America. While Intel has done a lot with emerging markets, Classmates and plenty of other more vanilla netbooks...
