[Edu-sig] OLPC vs. CP4E

[kirby urner]

To further clarify the difference between OLPC and CP4E, I think
the latter is much more willing to focus on living *in* your computing
environment, such that the screens and speakers are integral within
a media center that *is* also your house, and it's not like we don't
eat, sleep and so on here as well.  The Garden of Eden dome is
currently a pillowdome with Tefzel pillows (J. Baldwin), with the
freestanding structures in a garden or permaculture green house.
I realize that's not what every one would want, but that's sort of the
base object or template (the class).  You can subclass from there
to get most of our other options.  In other words, instead of a DynaBook,
we're into a DynaDome, have been for decades (check the literature).
