June 2013 – Milestone Reached! Everyone has heard about the $100 solar laptop.Everyone has heard about the 200$ Google laptop.
There is people who can not afford a brand new laptop or ipad. The latest milestone reached by ERA for people who can not afford even those.
Computer and LCD for $20. Laptop for $50. Server for $50. Cisco Networking Equipment for $20. Any business in the world can now get going for under $100. Low income families can finally provide their children with low cost computers, world wide. Our computers come from generous corporate donors. All data was removed and we have open source software readily available, as well as some corporate regular software.
We donate at no charge as many as we can to people and non profits that can absolutely not afford even those prices. You can also volunteer your time at the ERA and after 1 day earn a computer or after 2 days earn a laptop.
Many years ago the inspiration for ERA came from a poor boy who got a computer given to him by a church. He used that computer to start ERA.
