simple book on laptop

[Mitch Bradley]

I tried it on both B1 and preB2.  It works on B1, but on pre-B2, the 
page (olpc/olpc_book.html) spent several minutes trying to load, then X 
crashed and restarted (this happened 3 times).  The B1 is running OS 
build 231, while the pre-B2 has OS 236, so I'm not sure whether it is 
the hardware or the software that is causing the difference.
