$100 Laptop!!
So, it has come to my attention that MIT is starting research on making a computer that will only cost $100 or less. I find this to be absolutely awesome! Of course, there is one downside: it will be run by Linux.
I am a Mac man. I have an iBook and I am absolutely in love with it. I think that the Mac OS is by far the most user friendly, and the most stable by far. Thus, I would much rather have this laptop be run by Mac. However, I do understand why.
Linux is by far the cheapest quasi-mainstream OS on the market. It is also more stable than Windows, making it, to me, more advantageous to Windows. To me it is the lesser of the two evils, and thus, I am OK with MIT doing this.
I love the fact that they are trying to get every single person to have a computer. To make it so affordable, that anyone can get a hold of something that is so vital in our current society.
So, what is the moral of the story? I say support this company when it comes out, do not shun (spelling?) it just because it is not windows. This is a noble quest that all of us can get behind.

yes i also think it is good that linux is making computers affordable especially for you, a person that touches something and it either gets lost, stolen, breaks , or blows up
oo the anonymous was ur sis, have fun!
Man, what is it with you and your Macintosh cronies GP? Give up the goat, Mac is dead and Dell and Microsoft are here to stay. I'll wager my Inspiron 6000 against your iBook any day of the week on tests of efficiency, speed, and capacity...but not aesthetics. I'll hand it to you that your iBook is much more pretty than my laptop. Oh, and the iPod sucks too.
Here to upset you,
