I can imagine that some day in the future,
I will be travelling in some 3rd world country
and a kid will run up to me and ask if want
to buy a wind-up computer that runs Linux.
"Hundred dolla!" he will exclaim. Twenty-five,
I will reply. He will frown, but say "deal".
And then his family will eat well for a month.
