"there will be no major security issues exploited on those systems." ... "Instead, I have to believe that a community of children could not possibly be researched, exploited and attacked by nefarious computer researchers or even criminals."

Take of the pink sunglasses, dude. Do you even think for one second that these laptops can only be used by children? Did you ever consider that just about anyone would say "A $100 laptop? I want one!" What point of logic drove you to assume these machines would or could only be used by children? Are they going to get retinal scans burned into the rom, or use biometrics? There goes the $100 price tag. What happens when the children grow up? Are they barred from using them? Think a bit more before you speak.
