And the increasing of the cost suggests that the time may come when the cost will be unaffordable.

Christopher Isherwood

We've been working now with computers and education for 30 years, computers in developing countries for 20 years, and trying to make low-cost machines for 10 years. This is not a sudden turn down the road.
