So long and thanks for all the fish.

[Mike Lee]

Richard,

If there is an award for most electrons saved while delivering learning to
children globally, you should get it. Your dedication to hyper-efficient
power consumption in the XO continues to effect a significant
differentiator in the product.

But more than product focus, I benefited often from your unwavering
attitude of no-request-is-too-small. Most recently, helping me to work
through testing of the new power plug adapter in Zambia. And over the
years, so many patient and detailed replies to my questions on solar panels.

I suspect we'll cross paths again next I'm in Boston, or if Bobo gets
enough attention to arrange a meeting with my employer.

So I'm not saying goodbye. I want to say that I hope the community
continues to come up with interesting questions and projects at attract
your interest!

Mike
