What will you do with your Asus when the electricity is off for 5 hours, for example? Use it as a door stopper?
The OLPC is a very well thought out project with the potential of making a REAL difference to the lives of third world children. The price is not a major concern in this case anyway because the machines are mostly going to be distributed free of cost by donor organizations. The only difference potentially that a price of $188 vs $100 is going to make is that there might be less computers distributed initially, but with larger orders for countries such as Pakistan with huge populations, those numbers will come down overtime. ]]>Sep 16th 2007 5:12AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/09/15/100-olpc-xo-1-to-cost-at-least-188-over-200-in-uruguay/http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/15/100-olpc-xo-1-to-cost-at-least-188-over-200-in-uruguay/Sep 16th 2007 2:24AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/09/15/100-olpc-xo-1-to-cost-at-least-188-over-200-in-uruguay/http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/15/100-olpc-xo-1-to-cost-at-least-188-over-200-in-uruguay/
