tommie gorman Posted May 24, 2006 CID Share Posted May 24, 2006 Maybe they will put the bite on Blue Hippo. What do you want for $100? For a little more $ it could look better. resopalrabotnick the crank is now optional.

resopalrabotnick Posted May 24, 2006 CID Share Posted May 24, 2006 i don't know. blue hippo is a ripoff. sure. but damnit, i wish i had thought of it and had the lack of scruples to pull it off. you don't need to ship a box until they pay for it, and then they keep paying you money? perfection. and damnit, i can't find the crank on that laptop. what did they do, replace it with one of those imbalanced wheels with a generator like in motion activated watches?

ROM-DOS Posted May 24, 2006 Author CID Share Posted May 24, 2006 One Laptop Per Child http://laptop.org/ http://laptop.media.mit.edu/laptopnews.nsf Laptop Prototype Unveiled By BetaNews Staff, BetaNews May 23, 2006, 4:11 PM The One Laptop Per Child foundation unveiled the first working prototype of its $100 laptop at the Seven Countries Task Force Meeting on Tuesday. The device runs Fedora Linux and features a color screen, Wi-Fi, a 500MHz processor, and 1GB of flash memory. The prototype unit, decked out in yellow and orange, has "horns" that flip up to function as Wi-Fi antennae and cover the USB and audio ports when not in use. The keyboard sports recessed buttons much like Apple's new MacBook, and a handle on the back is designed to make transport easier. . . .still looking for the crank, but now we know it has "horns" at least!!
