It still seems more fitting to call it the $100 Dollar Laptop, although its price has risen. It is now at $170 - and for that price, there is no hard drive.

It is just a personal idiosyncrasy but the lime green exterior colour always reminds me of Kermit the Frog. I am sure therapy will help… the original colour scheme was orange and yellow. Really. You can look it up on the internet.
