Buy a Laptop for a Child, Get Another Laptop Free

The One Laptop Per Child Project, Nicholas Negroponte's project to bring computing to the developing world’s children via a $100 laptop, has announced that North Americans can now buy the units.

Years of work by engineers and scientists have paid off in a pioneering low-cost machine that is light, rugged and surprisingly versatile. The early reviews have been glowing, and mass production is set to start next month.
