OLPC Should Look Past Hardware to LISP and FPGA
,----[ Quote ]
| The Python programming language community
| figured out how to put up-to-date Python
| programs and Python interpreters on old
| (like first generation) iPods. This has the
| same advantage as the LISP on your junk-
| yard Atari. It is taking stuff that the
| rich people think is trash and using it in
| new and productive ways. The under
| developed nations get old computers anyway,
| but they are putting them in toxic waste
| dumps. Most western teens do not want an
| iPod from 2001, and this Python interpreter
| allows them to be reused in a productive
| way.
