Greetings, this is my first post.
I just got my OLPC a couple of weeks ago. I am rather impressed with it and I generally don't like laptops. My other one is a Panasonic CF-27 Toughbook and it is only 500 MHz. But like the OLPC it does not have a fan to keep it cool and suck in dust.
The isuue is what to do with them. What we hear constantly is read, read, read but who suggests what to read?
I suggest SCIENCE FICTION. I learned astronomy and some physics in grammar school though the silly nuns never used the science books they had.
Now you can get free sci-fi off the net:
