I believe you're overlooking the operative word here: "promote." It's on Neatorama, isn't it? You're talking about it, aren't you? Promotion accomplished. “why would one destroy a laptop in order to promote a company that gives children laptops?”

Terrible specs, and the worst part, never lived up to it's $99 promise. They started with you buy one, and they will send another to the developing nations schools. Now it's $199 and you are S.O.L. on getting one for yourself. @nene,johnny, and dutch,

To summarize, Kenny Irwin, you made really poorly thought out, really bad art. Way to go.

That is pretty neat. I usually just let the kids take a hammer and smash all the old electrical junk into pieces. (And this art is far better than any old tin foil ball.) Hehe! That is pretty neat.
