The $100 laptop closer to reality



<<<However, my hopes of picking one up to fiddle with were dashed with the following statement:  "Please note: these laptops are not in production. They are not --and will not be-- available for purchase by individuals." >>>

Keep your hopes up.  The article also says:

While the initial goal of the project is to work with governments, Negroponte said MIT is considering licensing the design or giving it to a third-party company to build commercial versions of the PC. "Those might be available for $200, and $20 or $30 will come back to us to make the kids' laptops. We're still working on that," he said.

Sounds like a good plan to me.
