Re: Negroponte is an egotistical whiner.

Just look at the facts, Doug. Negroponte can't seem to find any countries who want to buy a million OLPC laptops. Since he can rule out the possibility of there being a deficiency of the OLPC, or some other reason why a country wouldn't want to take on the risk and burden of buying a million at a time and helping to subsidize the much >$199 costs of actually building the laptops, the only thing left for Nick to conclude is that Intel must have strong-armed these poor, 3rd world countries, and forcing them to abandon the Greater Cause.

After all, what other explanation is there?
