The price change reflects, I suspect, inflation and "runs over the
budget." However, if you donate $400 to the cause, that buys one
device that goes to some kid in the developing world and you, sir,
receive the second to use as you will. So it's a $200 per unit cost.
I have one, and while I haven't had time to fully test drive it (no
manual, for example), so far it strikes me as a tool with wonderful
potential for revolution.

Hey everyone, I am interested in donating a laptop for the OLPC
program, but I have a question that I can't find an answer to on their
website. They are asking you to donate 400 dollars for one laptop,
but I thought the laptops were only suppose to cost 100 dollars to
produce. Do you know what the other 300 dollars is for? Thanks and
happy new year!
