How about this idea for the OLPC program:

Many people in the 1st world want one. I'd buy one for more than 150 bucks and i think they are ideal for kids in the 1st world as well as some adults (with small fingers maybe)
Then . . . . how about if they make two colour versions. They sell a black one for example for $300 (double the price) with the promotion that for every one we in the 1 world buy one is given for free to a child in a 3rd world country. That way their governments won't have to pay anything at all for at least some.
I think at least 1 million of us in the 1st world would pay $300 for a black or differently coloured (to avoid charity ones being sold in the 1st world) OLPC so that would be 1 million that go free to a child in a developing country.

What say ye all??????
