Making $75 bucks from poor people is a sin, imo.

I think what is needed is not cheaper computers, or cheap cybercafes and more computer school labs.

There not making $75 profit, the price has "gone up" by $75 from the original media releases that put the price tag at $100.
Seems they could not get the sponsors they hoped for the project, nor anyone to build them cheaper.
