The backers of the One Laptop Per Child project plan to release the machine on general sale next year. But customers will have to buy two laptops at once – with the second going to the developing world.
Guess I have egg on my face.
Two for the price of one eh? Sounds like a good deal to help get these laptops distributed throughout underdeveloped countries. I’ll definitely make use of that deal to lend a helping hand and receive one to give to my 2-year old nephew.
And what about if you already LIVE in such a developing country, like me for example? I’d have to buy 2 too?
