Video - 1:1 initative AWESOME!

Article link with video from 60 minutes

(Thanks Sherry for the video from your blog !)

Charge it with a crank, salad spinner if you run out of battery charge!
Waterproof, heat resistant... Wow!

The video makes great opposing points.. about security, (stolen from a child.. stops working after 24 hours) etc.. What about internet signal? Hidden costs?

There is also some new competition to this program (Intel - classmate, and a computer made in India as well as other companies looking at low cost alternatives).
