Here are some interesting notes on the hardware and software of what people are calling the “OLPC” (One Laptop Per Child) laptop, a.k.a. the “green MIT laptop”.

Note that in many locations in the world, the backlight will be the first artificial illumination many families will have (besides a fire). How people will use these systems will facinate us all.

…for example, I bet many of them will use it as a terrible source of light.
