Remember The $100 Laptop Project?

While looking up information for another blog post I came across this post from my first year of blogging (2005). 

Seven years later I wrote this post, stating:

Also known as the "$100 laptop" program, I wrote about it several times (here are a couple) in the past.  And then it disappeared, as I knew it would.  It was one of those nice, touchy-feely ideas that was doomed to failure in part because it wasn't completely thought out, but it made people feel good for awhile to believe in it.

I was right on this one.
