$100 Laptop Nears Launch

......good proposal....but these users should be able to write with pen ....about display .....small old monochrome crt display should work economics, but it will not be a laptop , weight for cheaper technology to come

no hard disk is matter of concen , as network or cd booting is equally difficult , also human power utilisation is debatable , if it is achild of certain age who will operate his pc , he will prefere to play with the generator instead insteade of learning linux , generator can be run by coil spring suppose one hour that mat be sufficient for a single course,if it is so low powered than solar power can be utilised with little expense or battery powered . it is difficult to utilise computer while powering with a paddle say , after all it is not a toy

Big corporates related to manufacturing components and also other blue chip companies , governments of those countries benefitting , rich nations should help the cause , by donating , marketing and training for free , subsidies and tax levis .....best of luck....thank you
