$100 Laptop Repriced at $175
prostoalex writes "The $100 laptop introduced by Nicholas Negroponte as part of the One Laptop Per Child program will end up costing $175, Associated Press says. The demand for the program is apparent as 'seven nations have expressed interest in being in the initial wave to buy the little green-and-white "XO" computers — Uruguay, Argentina, Brazil, Pakistan, Thailand, Nigeria and Libya — but it remains unclear which ones will be first to pony up the cash.'"
No, I rightfully went off at you for not even bothering to read the FAQ before asking a question.
That's what a FAQ is for.
If you don't like it, go hang out on a non-geek website where people don't mind rehashing the same questions over and over again.
This is why we have netiquette.
In fact, I think you know that you did the wrong thing and now you're trying to be indignant about it to save face.
Suck it up, take your lumps, read the FAQ and get behind this great project.
If we're lucky they'll get this out the door before their pandering to Microsoft turns it into a way to exploit the poor instead of helping educate them.
How we know is more important than what we know.
