that pc was released i think.. doesn't have a conventional power adapter.. you have to wind something if I remember correctly. The catch? Apparently it's to be sold to governments (at that price) to distribute to the children - China and Brazil esp seem to be interested in them (don't ask me about Uganda) Oh.. and because the founders of that particular machine wanted to ensure that the software remained completely open, they turned down an offer from Steve Jobs to have OS X on them. (I think they run RedHat - well Fedora - or something). -- patrick _______________________________________________ LUG mailing list [email protected] http://kym.net/mailman/listinfo/lug %LUG is generously hosted by INFOCOM http://www.infocom.co.ug/ The above comments and data are owned by whoever posted them (including attachments if any).
