How much was that $100 laptop again?

How about OEM's stepping up

and donating some components to lower the final cost to $100.00. Think of the good that will come from mass distribution to third world countries.

Perfect for the education system too!

This is great for third world nation, but why not also apply this to schools nation-wide? For a little more than the price of a graphing calculator students would have the functionality of a laptop. And by widening the distribution, we would see a price drop.

U.S. Distribution

Wasn't I reading on CNet sometime in the past few months that they want to roll out the OLPC program to U.S. school children at a significantly higher cost because "we" can afford it?

Something to think about.

Also you might want to go to the website below and read about the "Real Cost" of the OLPC program.
