$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.'"

Either you're a crazed hippie completely out of touch with reality, or you're a troll:

Euro value 4/26/05 = $1.29
Euro value 4/26/07 = $1.36

Not exactly spiraling out of control. Total loss of value in two years = 5.2%, not half.
