Saw this on the BBC News last night and they were quoting £700 per 'poor child'.

Ausus ePC901 Windows XP is £280 from Amazon. Pink one for the girls maybe?
Asus eeeBox is likely to be similar.

Where the £700 per child comes from is a mystery to me.

Although this is a fair idea, you can see the issue of post warranty repairs, anti-virus, general support becoming an absolute nightmare unless an organisation with a large remote support ability join in. Is this were the rest of the money will go ?

As with most of these Politburo driven social engineering schemes, I'm sure if you don't quality for Full Tax Credits or the childcare element, you will get bugger all assistance. There are many low to middle income 'nuclear' families who are struggling in the current 'lack of regulation' created financial crisis would like a little bit of assistance with
