News: The moat dredging is scheduled for 1200 hours this Wed. Petunia (the giant squid) will be irritable during this time. We recommend using the south entrance instead of the drawbridge. --Mgmt.

The price of the so-called “$100 laptop” has in fact grown to over $188 in past years, though OLPC plans to introduce a newly-designed laptop at a cheaper price by 2010.

Quibble much?  Come on. These laptops are awesome. If you've never gotten the chance to play with one, find a con near you and do it. Frankly, I think that giving people the means to help themselves is nothing but a good thing.
