That is the 'One Laptop per Child' project. I have been reading about that off and on too. It looks like a very interesting project. The laptop.org link worked for me. I see they have a new image of what the laptop does (may?) look like.<br><br>http://www.laptop.org/OLPC_files/nigerian-machine.jpg<br><br><b><i>Greg Simkins <gregsim@telerama.com></i></b> wrote:<blockquote class="replbq" style="border-left: 2px solid rgb(16, 16, 255); margin-left: 5px; padding-left: 5px;"> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"> <meta content="MSHTML 6.00.2900.3020" name="GENERATOR"> <style></style> <div><font face="Arial" size="2">I had been interested in a laptop shown in popular science for $100 intended for distribution in the third world.

have a link to several sites selling cheap notebook computers.

around $500 - 15.4" screen (12800x800), CD-DVD burners, 512MB, 1.5-1.7GHz. I think the StepNote was the one being marketed as the "greenest" laptop on the market... Has anyone had any experience with these laptops, in particular with running Linux on them? Not finding much on the web about it...<br><br>http://www.walmart.com/catalog/product.do?product_id=5192512<br><br>http://www.walmart.com/catalog/product.do?product_id=5412015<br><br><br> <div>__________________________________________________<br>Do You Yahoo!?<br>Tired of spam?
