XO laptop shipping in Canada begins (?)

The OLPC Community Support forum is reporting that:

“As of last night (Jan. 9) we have successfully imported all of the Canadian orders into our system (except for the PO boxes.) We will be shipping out the orders tomorrow and they should pass the border over the weekend, for in country distribution starting Monday.”

I’ve checked the status of my shipment on the laptopgiving.org website, and there’s nothing showing yet. This is promising, and I wonder what it means for actual delivery dates in Canada. I feel like I’m being both optimistic and cynical by expecting to have mine in my hands by the end of next week.

What’s baffling is the post shows with a time-stamp of Fri Jan 11, 2008 12:02 am, so I’m not sure from where it’s being posted…
