BBC: $100 laptop could sell to public

Mr Bletsas said that a philanthropic organisation would be formed to organise the orders and delivery of the laptops.

“It’s much more difficult to do this than making the laptop,” he said.

The aim is to connect the buyer of the laptop with the child in the developing world who receives the machine.

“They will get the e-mail address of the kid in the developing world that they have, in effect, sponsored.”

Wow, I’ll buy two, maybe four. That’s so awesome.
