news.bbc.co.uk — Enter Rufus Cellan-Jones. He is nine, has far more experience of games consoles than computers, and has strong views on most matters."Looks fun," was his only comment when I handed over the small, green and white laptop, explaining that he was the only child in Britain to have one.

The quotes don't really sound like a kid, more like an adult trying to be a kid.

Not at all. He seems quite intelligent. I thought Rufus was a dogs name?

It's good that computers like this are getting too inexpensive to justify the cost of putting windows on them.MS is going to lose the low end of computing unless they just give away an op system for them.

Google docs anyone? They bought so much digg ad space someone should mention it

I sat in on a few meetings with the technology committee at my son's s school. They felt that making presentations was an effective way of submitting projects. One may argue the point, but I suppose that a presentation would provide a much richer means of communicating one's research. Our school went with OOo, but they had regular computers. Loading a full OOo implementation on the XO laptop may use too much of its resources.

Gates gives a HUGE amount of money to charity already. What's with the constant Gates/MS bashing on digg nowadays? It's rapidly turning into slashdot, minus the intelligent comments (try and exclude this one from that generalisation!)

To bad that "greedy" Gates and crew of grifters is trying to kill a very worthwhile. It is a shame that he can't toss a billion to the project and do the world a great deal of good.<a class="user" href="http://chat.paramegsoft.com/">http://chat.paramegsoft.com/</a><a class="user" href="http://www.directory.paramegsoft.com/">http://www.directory.paramegsoft.com/</a>
