Negroponte demos $100 computer at UN

The BBC News has an article describing the $100 machine MIT’s Nicholas Negroponte has been developing (complete with a picture). The computer uses flash memory instead of a harddrive and a 500 MHz processor. The idea is to develop these machines for governments willing to purchase a million.

I just found a link from Andy Carvin that makes a nice addendum. Here is a short demonstration Andy was able to provide.
