One Laptop Per Child

Nicholas Negroponte can still amaze: here is his latest brain-child: a laptop under the $ 100 mark and Egypt is one of the first countries to get it. Big talk? He says there can be up to 150 million shipped every year after 2007; the first millions will be produced this year. The laptops are virtually indestructible, foldable in different ways and come with a hand crank for when there is no power supply.
