These machines are hardly a passing fad. What has happened to computing in the last few years is a continued increase in processing power, without a need by the general public. I have a PIII 533 MHZ machine that is perfectly capable of surfing the web, word processing, email, etc. Sure, it runs WIN98, but it does 95% of what I need a home PC for. The EEE does the same thing, but in a 2.99 lb package for $299. That is something all the prior minis could not sell for.<br> <br> Despite all these advantages of small, mobile computing, the OLPC is still looney - I have to agree on that.
