You can now buy the $100 laptop -- for $200. And that's only if you buy 10,000 of them at once. The minimum order is 100 at once, and that costs $300 each.
Kind of funny, but I still like the project despite that (they changed their name awhile back, to be fair: they're now One Laptop Per Child).
If you know of a particular third world village that you like and have $30,000 or more to spare (haha) I suggest trying this out. ^_^
EDIT: According to the video above for a narrow window in November you can buy one for $400 (actually you buy two for that price, and one of them is given to a child somewhere).
