Let me see if I have this straight. OLPC could not get under $200 for a single display. So they will now have 2 displays and it will only cost $75. From the prices I have seen it seems like the displays are the most expensive part of a laptop.
Using these figure I'm guessing that $50 should give me a holographic display but I could be smoking the same dope Negroponte.
I sincerly doubt that many PC's stay the way they are shipped.
I had always thought the idea behind the OLPC was similar to the old lego sets (Before the days of instructions) In effect give the user a box of parts and see what happens.
Unfortunately in this age of group think this idea seems to be dead. The idea of exploring anything remotely unlike windows seems to be frowned upon.
Pass me another standardized test, I need to kill more brain cells

Where is M$ Word and all of its clones. There is nothing more annoying then spending 15 minutes finding its hidden formating options
