I just find it a fascinating concept. Remember One Laptop Per Child? http://laptop.org/en/laptop/hardware/specs.shtml OLPC still seems to be alive and kicking, though nowhere near the numbers hoped for I am sure, even so a couple of million built. So much has changed since that project started. A RasberryPi would make a hell of a foundation for a new OLPC model. I always hope such things do some good in the world. John W.
