http://www.pledgebank.com/olpchackers is a much more reasonable pledge, only asking 10 local hackers to but a laptop(and, from what I understand, provide 2 to needy kids somewhere with the extra 200$... I think...) in order to start a local olpc hacking group in your comunity, I'm more than willing to pay 300$ for a laptop that is provided, as a charity, for 100$, just so I have one, this is not a replacement for your laptop, its a new toy to hack. The 100$ price is not its retail price, its the cost this CHARITY can provide them for to kids in developing countries, asking to buy it for 100$ is like asking to buy your car at production cost, stop being alll ignant n'tshit bout dis. Only reason I didnt sign the other is that I didnt know it existed. 100,000 users is a bit much, but 10 power users abusing one of these in each city should help OLPC find at least one or two bugs to patch.
Sign up for this one folks, I want one of those cool new green toys.
