The $100 laptop, which is no longer a hundred dollars, is about to go on sale. There is a special promotion:

“…For $399, customers can order a laptop for themselves; bundled into the price is the cost of delivering a second XO to a child a poor country.

The laptops, which went into high-volume production on 6 November, go on sale online at 6 a.m. Eastern Time Monday until November 26.”

It is for a good cause. And even if you don’t use it and store it in a closet, perhaps one day it will have appreciated to many times its original value. This is the beginning of a ‘new wave’. The little green XO machine may be the beginning of a technological revolution in some countries. And you can own one of the originals.
