$200 laptop sells at last!

Briefly: Good news for the (ahem!) $200 OLPC at last! Not a fall in its price, but a real, proper, genuine sale! Uruguay has bought 100,000 of them for schoolchildren. Hooray! At last some kids might benefit from what is, at heart, a pretty nice idea.

The $20,000,000 it'll bring in might help lower production costs too...
