Apparently Elonex are getting on the bandwagon on 28th February with the cheap laptops for kids lark. £99 will get you a fully working laptop loaded with Linux. I took a brief look on the Elonex website and it does seem to be true. At this stage I suspect the spec' will be ultra low though. However, if it is upgradeable it might be worth looking at.

I've seen far lower specced laptops that are (obviously) second or even third hand at more than that. I admit I am tempted myself.. I would like to know more about the upgradability of it though first. I can't find anything on that yet. -- ============================================== Kevan Farmer Linux user #373362 Staffordshire _______________________________________________ Staffslug mailing list Staffslug(a)staffslug.org.uk http://lists.staffslug.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/staffslug
