If it is any consolation, you are in good company.  Guido has expressed 
from time to time frustration at trying to figure out what I am saying. 
  And I have been accused of being "baroque" in my choice of language.

Which I find strange because I think of myself as a schoolyard brawler.

I separate the OLPC into 2 aspects:

1) a piece of hardware that is inexpensive, innovative in design, and 
with an Open Source infrastructure.

2) an embedded philosophy about technology and education.


Let's just say I am very anxious to get my hands on both - just in very 
different senses of the phrase ;)
