Spend Just $5 and Make Your Old PC Completely Useful

If you have an old personal compute which can not bear anything more than Windows 1998 or 2000, then you should buy a stick of Sugar in order to make it useful with educational tools. Could not yet understand what I am trying to say? Well, then let be first make it clear to you.

Sugar Labs, a company founded by former OLPC (One-laptop-per-child) president Walter Bender, is now going to sell operating system Sugar, which has been used in all of OLPC’s XO laptops, on a 1GB USB flash drive only for $5. Bender said that this operating system would turn a seemingly useless machine into a useful PC which will be full of educational tools. In fact, Sugar features 40 applications which all, as Sugar Labs claims, would be useful for educational usage.

Sugar Labs is going to use the software initially at a Boston-based elementary school, Gardner Pilot Academy. Well, I do not have enough idea about Sugar operating system as I could not yet keep my hands on XO laptop, but still I think, the offer is pretty much attractive. Why? Because it would cost you only $5, an amount you would not bother to spend for something that could either be good or poor in terms of performance.
