    OK here's some news for everybody-

    MIT has selected Taiwanese firm Quanta to manufacture the $100 laptop. Quanta will pledge resources to develop the notebook during the first six months of the year. A commercial version of the notebook is a possibility.

    Great story, Chaz. Thanks for the 411! (I'm so "hip" and "with it"...)
