i hope the popularity of these mods will not detract from the idea of this project.we need to give all children of the world a chance to learn.i would love to play with this computer,but i want a child to learn from one first.

OLP is yet another of Negroponte's fiascos (after the failed media lab in Ireland)...Intel's out and they never did get the price point. Nice design, and it did drive down the cost of lowest-cost laptops but the first uses filled up with porn (between systems failures) and subsequent ones will be the core of cyber-sweatshops with diverted units being used for porn and spam.
