RE: Designer of laptop for poor kids starts company
Kids.
Don't.
Need.
Laptop.

Why is it a liberal must invoke "for the chiiiildren" before they can do anything beneficial? Isn't it enough that she's developed this great screen technology? Isn't it great enough that she's working to create a $75 laptop so that poor people in general can afford access to the internet and modern software?

The worst thing we can do is shove laptops into the hands of children we're not educating as it is. Shove McGuffy readers and spellers into them instead.
