Today's Wall Street Journal chronicled the demise of the One Laptop Project, an effort to get $100 computer into the hands of millions of students around the world, especially kids who would otherwise never be able to afford the "market" priced tool.

But, just as it should, the introduction of a $100 computer stimulated the  big boys and they too are searching for at least cheaper answers than their current offerings. 

The lesson: the nonprofit fills the "market" void where there is otherwise no incentive or perceived demand.  One Laptop has helped the big guys understand the demand and bring their resources to a market they otherwise devalued.  Thank you One Laptop Project!
