2 million of those 100 dollar laptops sold to date. It's alright, but depressing cause the aim was to get it to about 100 million by now I think.

"In fact the old Soviets had a pastepot squad that continuously revised the Soviet Encyclopedia" All Encyclopaedias are continuously revised. it is called keeping them up to date. Or is the use of a "pastepot" the problem here? Digitizing books makes them accessible to more people. This is a good thing. Also digitized books means that they can be read by a computer making them accessible to even more people. Then of course there is the possibility of using meta data.
