[OLPC-devel] Re: Boot tasks -- the iPAQ way

[Jim Gettys]

Jordan,

Some history may be useful: Joshua Wise was a significant contributor to
Linux on iPAQ at age 12, before he started high school. (Joshua, your
ears should start burning...).  He taught me to not under-estimate what
kids can do....

Kids have all day, and we don't ;-).  
                           Regards,
                               - Jim
