Computers for Everyone

The project that's been getting a lot of buzz has been the $100 laptop project. Basically this guru from MIT's been working with governments and institutions to design a laptop that only costs $100 so they can be distributed to billions of people who can't afford one. I think it's a noble goal and I support the idea of bringing the computer to the masses, but like most projects that try to by pass the economic mechanism I think it is doomed to failure.

Project as planned by Intel I think makes more sense has has much better chance of success. They will be making PCs that cost from 200-400 dollars and will attempt to do so without taking a loss. They are attempting to find an economically viable way for poorer people to own computers.

We live in exciting times!
