Good news on the $100 laptop

Geek 2 Comments

Good news on the $100 laptop, they have finally seen sense and allowed us people in the developed world to purchase them. The deal is that you basically pay for 2 of them, one you get to keep the other goes to a child in the developing world.

People have been asking for this for ages, so it’s good to see it happening (well not yet, but at some point)

Anyway the story is on the BBC.

Also the link on the BBC is borked so to put your name in the hat to get one go to xogiving.org.

    Not quite the $100 laptop just yet, since $200 will buy a laptop for a kid, and $399 will buy one for them, and one for you. Soon, though, no doubt.
