I too read that in DNA newspaper. Are they going to *heavily* subsidize the so-called laptop ? If not, I'm not sure if you can get even the hardware at such a low price (let alone cost of OS/apps) These kind of announcements aren't new. Reminds me of "Simputer" buzz we had few years ago. http://www.amidasimputer.com/ doesn't seem active, doesn't mention price. — Mandar D Vaze http://desipenguin.com http://mandarvaze.wordpress.com -- ______________________________________________________________________ Pune GNU/Linux Users Group Mailing List: ([email protected]) List Information: http://plug.org.in/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/plug-mail Send 'help' to [email protected] for mailing instructions.
