Actually, Bowerbird, if you count used PDAs, the $50 computer is already a reality as I've pointed out before.
Who cares about the price tag? What counts is features and `market penetration´. How many people own devices that they can comfortably read ebooks on? How many people actually do read ebooks? Of course, that needs more research than browsing the Wal-Mart catalog, so I doubt whether you or the bird are capable of doing it.
For newbies: Why does Bowerbird's silliness go on, year after year?
Because even sillier people still reply to him. at least -- years ago, he was _funny_, with the manners and the outlook on reality he acquired reading alt.rec.ufo, and sure to conquer the world ... while we watched ... but years later and unable to enjoy personal successes, -- not having succeded at anything -- and without a dog following his tweets, he became a lame, old, deflated midget whose only joy left is to point out the small shortcomings in the work of people who actually accomplish things. -- Marcello Perathoner webmaster@gutenberg.org
