Recently, the brazilian government has cut the taxes on laptop and desktop computers to increase production and lower the price for the population. The "Computador Para Todos" (Computers for Everyone) program has even estimulated the adoption of open source solutions, such as Linux and OpenOffice, on the participating machines.
So why such a laptop, which clearly fits the policy for the fiscal benefits, hasn't been on the brazilian media? I looked for it on the major news websites and all I can find is the OLPC. They could sell millions here, people want computers and financing it has never been easier.
I looked for any address of Medison in Brazil but I wasn't able to find it. I could pay a visit and tell them that they rock. I could even bring in some donuts for the team. But apparently, they don't want any.
Too bad.
P.S.: The only Medison I could find makes
medical equipment.
