first off, tim berners-lee, the man generally credited with inventing

http://dig.csail.mit.edu/breadcrumbs/blog/4

for those following MIT's 100-laptop project (i know, it's not
old-tech, but it's become a thread), it's coming closer to
fruition--manufacturers, distributers, etc. are falling into place.
follow the news here:

year.
