$35 laptop

[Frank Gentges]

While some governments elect/appoint a government of hapless blowhards 
spending over a trillion dollars on bad concepts and investments, we now 
see another country with a great idea and a plan to manufacture 110 
million units.

Volume purchases reduce the unit cost to a jaw dropping bargain.  How to 
better give the citizens a reason to be proud of their government's 
leadership.  How can our students compete with their students in a few 
years of this?

Lets see... 110 Million x $35 = $3.85 Billion.  That is chump change to 
our leaders.

Do I think anyone will write software for it?  You bet I do.
