Very cool.

One thing I don't get about OLPC is their opposition to selling the 
machines to people like us.  It would increase their volumes and provide 
a corpus of people making Cool Shit<tm> for the machine.  Sure, we're 
not all educators, but we'll still help.

What's more, charge a commercial margin on it while offering a "no 
support" guarantee and they can pour the profits back into the project.

Politics is the gentle art of getting votes from the poor
and campaign funds from the rich by promising to protect
each from the other.
