That is great for those who want to set up say a classroom with one computer and the students could then for example all have a simple machine like the new $50 Aakash <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aakash_(tablet)> tablet.
I saw a presentation of it during lunch today. It would be an ultimate teaching tool to run the J labs on it with all kinds of subjects. There is a scilab - a mathlab clone - pre-installed on the Aacash. It has much better cost/performance ratio (since it is free!) as the presenter said. It would be nice to have the J server pre-installed on it. Get say $1 a piece to ISI could be nice since it probably will sell in millions. 2011/11/25 Eric Iverson <[email protected]> > gnuplot needs to installed only on the server.
