Nice to see a developing nation leading the way for a change. Admittedly
the GNU/Linux is a multinational effort, but to create a piece of
hardware with that capacity / price is an incredible achievement,
considering RedHat are still mucking about with OLPC.

I hope that the deal with the Hardware company doesn't fall through, or
certain company in Redmond tries to nobble it in some way.

I take my (red) hat off to the Indian Institute of Technology.

Impressive IF I can really get one for $35 dollars.....
