Assuming their estimate of a five-year life span for each computer is correct (which it isn’t: I have seen them in classrooms and there is no way they will last 5 years), that leaves $60 per computer after $200 purchase price to cover: distribution, electrical installation (the schools these XOs are destined for mostly don’t have electricity at all, let alone plugs or power for individual computers), satellite dish, training for teachers, repairs, replacements for lost and broken XOs. Who is kidding who?
