I hate to mention this, but the specs for the XO camera module include
an IR blocking filter (coating) on the lens. Otherwise, the COMS imagers are
unduly sensitive to IR.

IAEP -- It's An Education Project
There is no argument that a great teacher influences many
children in the right direction.
But such an effort to improve teachers is completely orthogonal
(i.e. independent) to both Sugar and OLPC. Better teachers
are needed whether or not the kids get laptops.
> Should OLPC or Sugar Labs cons
Its amazing how cheap you can make a laptop if you
leave out the RAM, battery, display, keyboard, networking,
processor, and plastic case.
It is a much less developed version of AMD's 50x15
terminal.

After spending some time with touch based devices,
I have to agree with Scott. Yes, you can "bolt on"
support for single touch to many activities, but doing
a good job of supporting multitouch is typically a complete
UI redesign.
We are trying to get an accelerometer into the design

Since none of our laptops are certified for sale

Caryl,
There are two easy solutions that jump to mind.
The decision is independent of a school server, you
are really choosing how to interface the laptops to
a network.
If the school will allow a Wifi network, add a small
cheap WiFi (802.11b/g) access point, configured
as a transparent access
