At an event honoring top technology innovations from Massachusetts companies in Boston June 7, Nicholas Negroponte, co-founder of the MIT Media Lab and chairman of the One Laptop Per Child (OLPC) project, was inducted into the MITX (Massachusetts Innovation & Technology Exchange) Innovation Hall of Fame.

Not surprisingly, Negroponte, a tireless advocate of the OLPC, didn't miss the opportunity to show off the first working model of the “$100 laptop.”

The OLPC project was announced last fall, with laptop manufacturer Quanta Computer of Taiwan stepping forward to offer its manufacturing services shortly afterward.

Here, courtesy of our sister site eWEEK.com, is a slide show of the OLPC's Boston debut:
