Give One Get One - the $200 laptop.

I've been loosely following the $100 dollar laptop for a while now. And now there's a campaign where you buy one for yourself and one for a child in need in the developing world.

During Give One Get One, you can donate the revolutionary XO laptop to a child in a developing nation, and also receive one for the child in your life in recognition of your contribution.

In reality, the $100 laptop is actually $200, but it delivers on most of what was envisioned. The NYTimes has a great review of the laptop.

Here's where you can find out more about the Give One Get One program, and sign up for your own laptop.
