"We're not selling cheese here," he said. "If we have to break a couple of eggs to make the omelet, we'll do it."

Ahh. Right.
The XO laptop described in this article is, BTW, exceeding cool. It's small, cheap (under $200), colorful, and optimized for children's use. Designed for kids in underdeveloped countries, it features a Wi-Fi networking technology that allows each computer to become an access point for others on the network, thus extending a fixed base station's range.
XO Laptops can be purchased at Amazon.com in pairs, with one of the pair going to you and the other to a child somewhere else.
