OLPC actually seems to be a robust enough concept & hardware that it's somewhat popular. My roommate bought one of them, and has been really happy with it. He uses it as a second laptop, so he doesn't have to haul around his Alienware monstrosity; and it does great for that. the keyboard looks pretty small; but it seems to be serviceable enough. Very simple, very rational. Limited performance, but adequate for a lot of tasks. Kind of reminds me of the old IBM z50 (solid state storage, low power, very portable); but with a decent OS and a far crappier keyboard. (My z50 had one of the best laptop keyboards ever!) I even met a guy in Boston who's one of the developers for it. He's pretty excited about the possibilities. -- Carl Soderstrom Systems Administrator Real-Time Enterprises www.real-time.com _______________________________________________ scalug-list mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.mn-linux.org/mailman/listinfo/scalug-list
