[LUG] The $100 Laptop (incl. pledge)

["Ben Goodger" <goodgerster@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi

This has recently come to my attention.

The $100 laptop, for those who don't know, is a very cheap laptop computer, running Fedora, Firefox and GNOME incl. Abiword etc; it has 500MiB of flash memory, 128MiB of RAM, a 500MHz processor, a low-power display, WiFi and a pull-string human power supply. I am going to buy one at $300 for my business, in accordance with this pledge, and I ask that you do the same (the $200 extra is used to fund the donation of two of them to Africa and such.)

Please also sign the following pledge, just for the satisfaction of imagining Jack Straw's face on receipt of a metric crapload of hate mail. (It won't cost you £220.)

Thanks!
