Yes, that was my point.  A few years ago laptops were $2k- $5K.

Today you can get a really good laptop for $100 **

Negroponte's project is knocking a zero off that average.

So in a few years we can knock a another zero off the price.

(By then $100 will be equal to today's $10. :-))



** Yeah, I know, the $100 laptop will not be anything like what 
a $1K laptop.  I just enjoy the speculation and discussion. :)
