With such a nifty flat screen (I can see KDE), could they only afford
peripherals that have not been pulled out of some film from the 70's? Quite
frankly, the $100 laptop seems to bear much more potential and could be sold
in numbers that verge half a billion within a couple of years. I, for one,
would love to see it come true. *smile*
