The $100 laptop
« 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.

But tell me, can you heal what father's done?
Or fix this hole in a mother's son?
Can you heal the broken worlds within?
Can you strip away so we may start again?
Tell me, can you heal what father's done?
Or cut this rope and let us run?
Just when all seems fine, and I'm pain free, you jab another pin,
Jab another pin in me

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?

Now where in the Bible does it say if someone does something stupid you should shoot them in the face?"
