the ASUS EEE is supposd to retail for 199 USD or so. there was a 200 euro laptop on

OLPC will cost this much anyways - theres no way they can really beat quanta/compal/asus
at their own game, price-wise.. although perhaps they have an edge in software innovation
(the EEE runs a trimmed down Linux)
I don't need the sourcecode, I want to know
where I can get a new
laptop with enough cohones to run JACK, for $100, that's what I want

You are aware that the OLPC-Laptop is meant to be a kind of charity
project for developing countries, aren't you? (I won't debate, if it
is successful with that goal.) That is, it's meant for poor children,
not for poor geeks.
You may try *bay for cheap old laptops, that are of comparable speed.
