- Here's a blast from the past...This was originally posted back in 2007. Classmates and 1:1 have come a long ways, haven't they? While the United States and other established markets are not the target for Intel’s Classmate PC, I sincerely hope they bring something like this...

- A case for rugged laptops?
- I'm not a gentle laptop user. They get tossed in my car, jammed in my bag, and slid off my lap. My white MacBook is only white in a few spots now (the keyboard and wrist-rests a fairly disgusting shade of gray). Kids, however, make me look downright...

- In fairness to Moblin
- I've been enthusiastically toting around my little Classmate, happily telling anyone who will listen how enamored I am of both the device and Ubuntu's Netbook Remix NBR that I have running on it. At the same time, I've been giving further thought to Moblin and had an interesting chat...

- Living with a netbook: Toy or tiny notebook?
- There is no denying the popularity of netbooks, but there's still much debate about who's buying them and for what purpose.
