i'm not poor per se but i'm an american and i didn't have my own laptop until about 3 months ago, anything else was an ancient hand-me-down. even now its a $250 toshiba satellite that we bought with wedding money and a giftcard. anything better i'd need to win the lottery for. living paycheck to paycheck, electronics are bleeping expensive.

i could only imagine what a revelation these tablets would be to many people who have honestly probably never even seen a computer before. we do lose sight of the fact that there are people in the world who would give their arm for a moldering commodore 64 that youve got in your basement.
