Title: The $100 laptop
Post by: Clark Kent on September 28, 2005, 10:49:52 am

Now, this is kinda cool.  I wonder how fast it is, what inputs it has into it- IE, CDs, DVDs, networking capabilities, what OS it runs, etc.  Seems very cool.

Oh great.. they are going to send hand-cranked laptops to the third world.  You know children will be forced to stand and crank those for hours while their elders surf the web.  Has MIT no shame?   :-X

If they become available, I'm going to get one.  Maybe a few...especially if they can run SFC.  Just think, I can then go camping, crank it for 6 hours whilst everyone else goes to find firewood, and play SFC that night for 30 minutes.  Does it come with optional Satellite hookup as well?
