Well, while the Efika MX Smarttop is a bit bigger and a bit more expensive, it's also ahelluvalot more usable, and I mean usable for *real stuff*.
True, but for Braben's purposes (giving students a dirt-cheap machine to do a lot of tinkering on) it's quite suitable. I hope that this works out the way he thinks it will - it's high time kids were learning how to program again.

Computer genius, David Braben, well known to us as the programmer from Elite and Elite II:Frontier...

As in a dude who used to use/program for miggies now has a cute device he made all by himself and a friend.

Is it about OS4?  no.  Is it about MorphOS?  no.  Is it about AROS?  no.  Is it about Amiga hardware?  unknown.  Is it about Amiga People?  DING DING DING!
You understand this post. :biglaugh:
