"...because i think it can do way more than just browsing the net."
Like, maybe, work?
I got a big chuckle out of that bilious jerk, Hadron, making fun of me doing
"work" on my OLPC.
Apparently, Hadron thinks that you cannot run vi, gcc, libtool, make, ld,
doxygen, fakeroot, gdb/cgdb/ddd, and valgrind on an XO.
Apparently, Hadron thinks that 1 Gb is not enough room for an operating
system and 15 Mb (zipped) source-code project. Or for technical books in
ebook form. Or a browser like Opera.
Apparently, Hadron does not think.
