It sounds pretty good. At the moment the price of $100.00 sounds impossible but I guess we'll find out. I'm trying to imagine cranking with one hand and typing with the other. What the hell, I only type with one finger anyway...

I dunno Juan, the $100 price is based on giving them away to kids in deeloping countries. The plan is kind of vague, but the article mentions selling them here for $200 and then $20 or $40 going back to making them available for cheap in developing countries. I'd buy one for $200, or even more, under those circumstances.
It's about time that somebody found a way around the tyranny of technology. I'm kind of surprised at the idea of open-source hardware though.
