Yes but the crisis made in my country by the end of 2001 is so difficult to
forget in terms of buypower that the laptops are not going to the hands
of kids but to the families that are earning this "plan" for families which
supported this pressident. That would be the target of a goverment based solution
to the technological breach. i still think is very hard to apply a massive
deployment of laptops in countries like mine, because there is not the necessity of
computers for children but just the joy that would bring.
The necessity of computers is made by the love for technology, and that is not
working by the moment.
What i mean is transport taxes, and import taxes which
actually exists because we cannot afford a competition so huge.
Of course this Laptops are the door-in to the ALCA TLC or whatever.
I am on argentina and the Laptop is going to cost
175 dollars which here means 550 pesos which
with the costs of translation (oil) and the taxes
it will be at 900 pesos which is something like 300 dollars
and 900 pesos is the cost of a Pentium 3 600Mhz with 128 mb ram
and 20Gb hard drive.
What is the relation Cost-Power of this Laptops?
Either way if it is intended to be for poor people
thats not the way to do it, and the worst i can tell is that
poor people does not have credit cards like in other countries.
I am not telling just that my country is like India, but just
that this is the first country to invest in technology, so
you might to justify what is the thing we might buy.
Buy it by CASH? think twice, just in case you not want to hear
how difficult is for me to sell a damn 100 hundred dollars CPU.
