Even The Poorest Of Bums Can Afford This Computer

Think that $130 NPX-9000 Firefox tablet or the OLPC $75 touch screen laptop are as cheap as it gets? Think again. The brains at MIT are sure of themselves that they can create a computer for a mere $12.� With a price tag like that, it’d only take a few hours of panhandling outside of a McDonalds to accumulate the money for your brand new PC.� No details on the rig’s component parts except for it starting out as an old Apple II. How or when it’ll become a twelve dollar functioning computer is beyond me.
