Ärende: Re: $100 laptop on the horizon
======================================
From: "Gary Britt" <zotu@nospamforme.com>

Yes, I agree it could happen.  Also, agree its not bad for a start.  I'd pay
$200 for a notebook with a bit faster processor, 512 MB, 30 GB or more Hard
Drive, 15 inch TFT, and DVD Rom/CD-RW drive. <g>
