100 dollar laptop

[José Paulo Matafome Oleiro]

I think we all want one of this laptops. It's good for everybody, and
people from developed countries can pay more than 100$ dollars for each
one and subsidy the costs of manufacturing (I don't mind pay 300$
dollars), to help making this laptop more cheap for the people of
countries that need our help to be more developed. We all can help in
this project, translating the software to the language spoken at those
countries, for example I'm portuguese, and some developing countries
portuguese is the official language, for example East Timor, Angola,
Mozambique. It's time for all of us join our efforts and help this
project to be so greatest and fantastic like GNU/Linux is from is
initial days.
I apology if some of you don't like my point of view, but that's my
opinion, and we all live in a Free World (equal rights for everybody).

Sincerely
José Oleiro aka Matafome (#computers at irc.ptnet.org)
