Wow. Never expected this to go in such a different direction. I just thought it was an interesting project, especially for retro-collectors like us. Still, you all make very …

The number of knee-jerk, clichéd preconceptions about the "third world" in this and other XO/OLPC related threads astounds me.

I would love one of these... I'm not contributing anything to the debate on whether it's useful or not, but the thing does sound pretty cool, especially if it'll be Apple II softwa…

Education means nothing when you live in a country with no jobs. [...] Better to teach them how to grow food and sanitize water first. Those are skills they can actually put to use…

Perhaps one of the problems with the $12 computer is that it is being designed as a computer. I seem to recall that one of the stated reasons behind the XO-1 (the "$100 laptop") w…

Yer the IIe sounds good. Need to researh it a bit more, most sites are from the US.

Me and a friend saved an IIe from school, and I *used* to have a II growing up as a kid, so I would say go with the IIe just because it is the beefed up II and would have more soft…

There is a reason that McDonalds cash registers are nothing but pictures of food on the keys! Click to expand... Perhaps the people pushing the buttons aren't from the US.

I don't think anybody in the US has a clue what a 3rd world nation needs for education considering what a mess the school systems in the US are like. There is a reason that McDonal…

In 10.4 and 10.5 there is a VNC server built in. Go to system prefs, Sharing, and I believe you can enable it in the options for Apple Remote Desktop.

Apparently Vine Server has a monopoly on suitable VNC servers for Mac OS X. So I put it back online with Vine Server, we'll see if it crashes again.

yeah...i'm in agreement with Patrickcool here. i don't think the iphone has any bearing on their decision to repair those machines. in fact, i'm going to be so bold as to say tha…

As for the random terminal sleep issues, some machines can be pretty bad, particularly if they use the magnetic sleep switches. For the Wallstreet, if some hard drives are install…
