Frankly, this $100 PCs for poor people is simply missing the point — a lot of Filipinos don’t even have decent classrooms, why would they want a $100 PC? And for those who can afford to buy this hobbled PC, why would they even want it? They’d buy a second-hand PC with a pirated Windows XP instead.

So while many Filipino bloggers were wailing and gnashing their teeth that Philippines wouldn’t be getting the $100 OLPC laptop, India’s Education Secretary rejected the idea out of hand saying “We need classrooms and teachers more urgently than fancy tools.”

OT:

@bloggementarist – you should be flattered since great bloggers (from time to time) message me at YM, post a message at my tagboard or even sometimes email me just to say you’re posting here again. You could always check my tagboard

@bloggmentarist: i think you’re the one who needs it, attach the hand crank near your head to re-charge your brain

@bloggementarist – o defensive ka naman masyado. I merely told you that it’s a PC not a notebook. Dami mong sinabi na parang high ka sa pinagbabawal na gamot. Tigilan mo yan. Masama yan sa kalusugan mo

$100 for a PC like that?Why not instead buy 2nd hand parts and assemble them together and add a few more moolah for a 2nd hand crt monitor? 2ndhand packages like these cost less than $100… and what’s the use of a budget $100 PC without a monitor?

OLPC created too much hype that it shadowed the truth that pinoys can build budget PCs for every poor public schools in the country (and it’s environment friendly too.. recycling old parts )

@bloggementarist.. it’s a PC not a Notebook.
