At the beginning of the project, there was much discussion of a store-and-forward network, so that students could send e-mail and use other non-real-time internet services, as long as they occasionally meshed with someone who occasionally had internet access. This is still a worthy goal, but it has slipped in priority, to the point of being forgotten. - --Ben -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.7 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFHiAP9UJT6e6HFtqQRAribAJ49G73xmWYpkOSzXNsL20dD2vV/DQCbBSzw J+YHlnapDrphKe5qwkUgfdE= =asPh -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ Devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel
