Spirit Airlines $8 tickets promotion, fly on the cheap

Update: This promotion has expired. Check out more Travel Deals at Buxr.com

Do you feel like vacation? I can’t stop thinking about mine which is coming this June. I have somewhat mixed feeling however when I think about my upcoming trip to Ukraine, which is my destination.

On the one hand I am happy I will see my friends and relatives, on the other hand I had to shell out around $5000 just for the tickets. That is right, none of my ticket buying tips work when you travel to an ex-Soviet republic. :-(

Now, if my family lived someplace closer, my airfare invoice could have looked something like this, which is the price I like much more. :-) Note, this is 4 round-trip tickets!

Spirit Airlines Invoce

Where do you go this summer? If your destination is in the list below, you could take advantage of this promotion from Spirit Airlines. Just go to their website and make sure you pick valid dates for your flights.

Now, I personally never used Spirit, and I have heard they mostly fly from smaller airports, but hey, what did you expect to get for $8 a ticket?

Sub $100 Laptop – Impossible?

Published November 2nd, 2006 in Interesting / Other. 3 Comments

One Laptop Per Child is the name of the program that aims at building a $100 laptop. The design is done by MIT Media Laboratory while Taiwan based Quanta Computers will do manufacturing. The initiative is currently aimed at third world countries and educational uses.

The laptop runs on a 366 Mhz AMD processor, Linux OS, and has a 802.11b/g wireless chipset which enables browsing internet and running web applications. The latter is especially important since the laptop doesn’t have a hard drive and goes about with 512MB flash memory.

IDG News reports that the first laptops will roll off production lines by the end of this year.

The company expects to ship 5 million to 10 million of the laptops next year, and said orders to Argentina, Brazil, Libya, Nigeria, and Thailand have already been confirmed.

While the first laptops will certainly go to schools in Africa and South America I fully expect to see them in Sharper Image, Discovery and Kids-R-Us stores here in the US once the production kicks in at full capacity. This is also inevitably going to affect prices on all lower end laptops including brands like Dell and HP.

So, a sub- $100 laptop sometime next year, why not?
