$100 Laptop

I finally got to see the laptop created for the One Laptop per Child program up close at LinuxWorld. The laptop is also known as Negroponte’s “$100 laptop.”

I had only seen photos of it so I was surprised at its size – its small. I didn’t spend much time playing with it. I just moved the cursor around and tried to opens some programs, but it wasn’t responding. However, it looks like it could be an educational toy from LeapFrog.
