follow up.

Remember those $100 laptops? They’re here and they’re real. Working to enable the children of Africa, these babies are going to rock. Photos Here. Yeah, they look childish, they’re for children. You can pledge to buy one for $300; the extra $200 will buy two more and go straight to kids who need them.
