View at BBC NEWS
Nicholas Negroponte, chairman and founder of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology Media Labs, has been outlining designs for a sub-$100 PC.
The Linux-based machines are expected to have a 500MHz processor, with flash memory instead of a hard drive which has more delicate moving parts.
This sounds like an ideal solution for British School children!
But will the governement drop its devotion to Microsoft long enough to save vast amounts of tax payers money?
