For now there is not enough volume for other sales, but eventually we can expect it to be available. One proposal had been suggested (but I don't think implemented) to require a buyer to pay $200 for two laptops and then they would get one and the other would go to a developing nation. I like the idea of the product being sent, rather than any money, which is often syphoned off by corrupt regimes. The one problem with this particular laptop is that it would be too underpowered for amateur digital programs. Of course it would be OK as a modest terminal. 73, Rick, KV9U Per wrote: >A few highlights from the specs: > >* nominally consumes less than two watts, can be >recharged by human power >* Power: 2-pin DC-input, 10 to 25 V, -23 to -10 V >* 7.5 inch, 1200x900 pixel, TFT screen >* Experience shows that the laptop components most >likely to fail are its hard drive and internal >connectors.
