SoulSe Posted January 14, 2008 Report Share Posted January 14, 2008 The OLPC laptop is hand-cranked to provide the power. They dropped the hand crank some time ago. It is still available as an accessory, however... which means you have to pay for it separately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianw1974 Posted January 14, 2008 Report Share Posted January 14, 2008 I think BBC news needed to update their site, I read it here about this hand crank :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ixthusdan Posted January 14, 2008 Report Share Posted January 14, 2008 Look, let's not get all negative. They offer: 1) the hand crank and 2) the lightening rod. Like good technology specialists, they have alternatives for various circumstances. (There was some talk about the mouse wheel again, but it got held up by special interest groups!) ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
