Windup Laptop



While reading the Readers Digest in the April issue I notice a article aboutwindup laptops. The laptops are powered with a wind-up crank, have very low power consumption and will let children interact with each other while learning. Manufactures
plan to have millions of $100 machines in production within a year. These laptops will have all the modern trappings; mikem speaker, camera, USB ports, a screen that's visible in bright sunlight, even a wireless network between laptops in a classroom. The laptopss will be sold directly to governemnts for distribution though schools by the end of the year.
For more info go to www.laptop.org.
I think this is a wonderful idea that will help many 3rd world countries. I would like to be a great congraduations out for OLPC, the company who invented these laptops, super work guys!!
