A few highlights from the specs:
* nominally consumes less than two watts, can be
recharged by human power
* Power: 2-pin DC-input, 10 to 25 V, -23 to -10 V
* 7.5 inch, 1200x900 pixel, TFT screen
* Experience shows that the laptop components most
likely to fail are its hard drive and internal
to LOTW
or hard card.

For now there is not enough volume for other sales, but eventually we
can expect it to be available. One proposal had been suggested (but I

Their internal wireles will allow for short range networking. The intent
is to have a server nearby at the school. I would expect that many times
they may not have internet connectivity but some areas will.
Also, there are some possbilities for a crude kind of mesh network, but
it will likely
I spoke with one of the choef designers, and he told me the sound card
is stereo and DC coupled. I believe it could do SDR and PSK.

They plan to make the kid-distribution ones a distinctive color and
shape (bring green and froggy looking for example) and raise awareness
that any of those are contraband. It shouldn't be too hard among

The one problem with this particular laptop is that it would be too
underpowered for amateur digital programs. Of course it would be OK as a
