Yes, yes... but the important uber-geek question is: have you
dalready voided the warranty?  How do its guts look like? :-)

Very cool!  Do you have a contact I could call to get a sample here
in Florence?  The people of OLPC Austria might also be interested in

Also, I'd like to get in touch with the developers to see if *they*
would be interested in doing the work of adapting Sugar to their own
system.
