Bill Gates Mocks MIT's $100 Laptop Project 2006-04-10 14:04 UTC
"If you are going to go have people share the computer, get a broadband connection and have somebody there who can help support the user, geez, get a decent computer where you can actually read the text and you're not sitting there cranking the thing while you're trying to type," Gates said.

The Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Boston, MA, USA, is trying to produce $100USD computers for developing nations. These machines have a tiny screen and no drives. They have a small hand crank that generates power to the unit and rechargeable battery.
