At $25 they will be helping a lot more people than just well-off geeks - this whole project a charitable after all. I will be buying them for kids who would never have even touched a computer in their lives if not for these (and doing a bit of teaching). Since I am hardly Bill Gates, this would be completely impossible for me at $95 each (only giving them to 2-3 of these kids and leaving out the rest is just a bad idea in a slum).

Spending $95 on a PC does not make you "well off." I too would prefer that price point.

  Granted, it may not make you a "well off" geek, but my point was - at $95, this would be a dream to most of the people who could benefit from it the most.
