It’s all over, folks. at Robert Pogson

China is ramping up production of the tiny notebooks. One will soon be available for about $100 using MIPS/GNU/Linux on a public casting. There is no place for M$ to hide its price. see http://techvideoblog.com/ifa/98-linux-laptop-the-hivision-mininote

Indeed. It has AbiWord+FireFox. It’s not Wintel in any way. Now to find a supplier or become one…

My Mission

My observations and opinions about IT are based on 40 years of use in science and technology and lately, in education. I like IT that is fast, cost-effective and reliable. I do not care whether my solution is the same as yours. I like to think for myself.

My first use of GNU/Linux in 2001 was so remarkably better than what I had been using, I feel it is important work to share GNU/Linux with the world. I have been blessed by working in schools where students and school systems have benefited by good, modular software easily installed in most systems.

I have shown GNU/Linux to thousands of students and hundreds of teachers over the years and will continue in some way doing that until I die in spite of the opposition.
