According to a new article at BBC news, the much rumored $100 laptop will be available to the public sometime soon. The catch?
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.
Sounds like a good way to booster their ability to deliver these to 3rd world countries by getting the public involved.

Doesn’t that make it a $200 laptop?
I know when it’s the other way around and it’s buy one get one free, I often consider it half price. (It’s not exactly because you might not need two, but in a lot of cases it is.)
Yes, it does dollar wise. You probably get to write off the donation to charity so maybe not quite $200 if you itemize.
