OLPC - QRP PC Style
I love projects like the OLPC. I believe that the Internet is the great equalizer and the more people we can get on-line, the better the world will be. Battery evolution seems slow, so it is fantastic that they can make the laptop faster while reducing the power requirements. The QRP hams have to think this is cool, too.

Nice to hear -- more QRP fans should talk about these things and what it means for innovation... we could make most things faster while reducing power consumption if we thought about it more.
