Wow....

I am thoroughly impressed by the attention being paid to the security aspects of this project. Not that I believe the security will be bulletproof for the $100 laptop (any more than it is for $1000 laptops), but it shows a committment to success for the project unusual in recent computing endeavors.

Funnily enough, my first computer (a Timex-Sinclair 1000) cost $100 (in 1982). I still own it. Like the $100 laptop, the TS1000 was heavy on functionality (although it had a puzzling lack of ability to manage large datasets) and was a splendid tool for teaching the art of computing.

I can't wait to see how kids all over the world use the $100 laptop to expand their horizons. It's an exciting time, people.
