You buy an XO Laptop for $400. You get a laptop and a kid in a 3rd world country gets one too.
EDIT: I originally posted this because I thought the program was really cool. But I’ve been reading more about the computer and it’s amazing. Solar power and pull-cord options for recharging the battery. It’s designed for kids and collaborating. The laptops automatically detect each other and give you the capability to transfer music, videos, documents, etc. without prior setup. It allows you to let other people view your screen while you’re working, so you can edit documents and work together without having to crowd around one screen.
It’s also designed for harsh environments, so you don’t have to worry about rain, spills, dropping it, or dusty environments. And it weighs 3 pounds. I’m so impressed with this. I was all talk about just sending this to a kid. I want one to play with! Maybe I’ll let Juniorita play too.
