When he gets bored with perfectly-working OLPC hardware and needs a
challenge, Mark should design us a Python Processing Unit (PYPU) for a
future hardware revision. The PPU would either be implemented as a
coprocessor, or sit directly on the Southbridge, and would be able to
execute Python bytecode in silicon. This would turn each OLPC machine into
a portable Python supercomputer. And would be frickin' awesome.
