   95% of the world’s computers cost three times what they should.

   We use the world-community developed Linux operating system and universal program applications that cover around 85%of typical computer usage (internet, media player, spreadsheet, document, ereader, file manager, etc).

   A $200 device with XP or Vista included costs $350. Then add MS typical software applications for an additional $200 – $400. The $200 device just became $600 or $700.

   We want to keep it all very simple and pass those saving along. We hope many millions of students and new users will join the online global community and enjoy functionality, portability and affordability.
