$150 laptop

check this out... this is cool: www.laptop.org

I find this to be another notable first world initiative to help the developing world. Although designed for young children, I think even college students in poor countries can use something like this.

I especially like the fact that you can charge it manually since our library doesn't allow us to plug in laptops without paying an annoying fee! :)) It can come with a crank, a pedal or a push cord... hahaha. It can even come with a solar charging thingy.

Maybe we can find a way to put lex libris in it. With a power consumption of as low as one watt, it seems ideal for long hours of reading... or pretending to read.
