If you had seen the kids happily working away on their Linux thin client
machines, finding information, making reports, playing games, you would
have seen that smart == cute. These guys would finish up a paper
assignment and RUN to the computers to go do math blaster games.

If any one wants to see more use of Linux systems world-wide, the way to
do it is to get the kids on it. It worked for Apple and their stuff
costs tons of cash. What is needed is a ton of more sophisticated
educational games than run directly under Linux or from  a browser.
