Also earlier Sameer Verma eloquently summarized the increasing viability/tradeoffs/evolution of OLPC-like compact school servers ("Offline Micro Digital Library Evaluation and Comparison"). Watchable right here: http://olpcsf.org/node/226 http://youtu.be/NLH3a70yxfI *Holy Unsung Heroes, someone in SF please cancel your Uber and instead buy these guys & emcee/roadie Aaron Borden a drink!
