A lot of them go to various state government initiatives such as the First 
Click grants programme and telecentres.

I think they must be all going to East Timor, as Computer Angels have not 
seen any of this specification :)

Are you part of http://purple.nd.edu.au/coms/bj/easttimor/index.htm ? If 
not, you may wish to get in contact with them. I think it is a consortium 
of three groups including the University of Notre Dame and they have 
coordinated populating youth centres and classrooms with PCs (Windows) and 
MACs.

All the best
