Satish Jha, who is also the chairman of Pinewood Partners told
EFYTimes in an exclusive interview, "Any other computer is too
expensive even if it is priced at zero rupee. To offer what OLPC does,
will take any computer many times its price. So if one sees
practically, OLPC is actually priced free."
I would not comment on either computing or free software, deferring to Mr
Jha's expertise in these matters.
However, I would love to get one, as: "practically, OLPC is actually priced
free."
Practically, actually, free.?? Hmm, that _is_ less than a $100 each.
PS: I now understand why I am not seeing and return on investments from
Pinewood Partners.
