100 buck School Library

Let Fly I say. Or Mcfly. No you are apparently the first to think of lesson plans, school books, and reference books being stored on the device. I suppose we have been oriented to the communication value of the 100 buck PC. Once connected to the World Wide Web these things would be available of course. But there is still the issue of satellite phone communication. McCaw is letting fly with that. I suspect that over half of the US communications travel by satellite these days, perhaps not, but in any case you will not have India, China and other developing nations messing with terrestrial communication channels. They will get McCaw to launch a satellite for that if necessary. Perhaps the satellite will contain not only communication switching but also a knowledgebase. If McCaw hasn't thought of this then the family doesn't appreciate Opera. CAN YOU HEAR ME NOW;>)
