Hardware, Embedded Systems Here is an 8 minute documentary about the recently unveiled 100$ laptop. It shows the laptop in action, and also discusses its aspects with one of the team members, such as the screen, the cheap keyboard, and much more. The video is in Quicktime, and this mirror gives better performance. My take: I am very, very, very impressed. The thought put into the details is just stunning. Every aspect of this machine has a function. Just astonishing.

It is correct to put the $ in front of the monetary amount when using USD. If you want to "be special" and put it after, fine, but there is no need to be so rude to somebody who simply asked you do things the _correct_ way.

I think you'll find it's correct in the US but outside it depends on which county you are in.
