MIT has unveiled its $100 hand-cranked laptop computer to the United Nations technology summit in Tunisia and said that it hopes to make millions of the devices to give to the poorest people in the world. The lime-green machines, which are about the size of a text book, will offer wireless connectivity via a mesh network of their own creation allowing peer-to-peer communication and operate in areas without a reliable electricity supply.

Oh i dont know this win98 computer runs just fine,
and there are alot of win98 machines in this part of
the world still, and i have xp machines as well, but
98 is still quite useful, and runs very fast.
winxp can run fast too, but needs more horsepower.
