</blockquote></div><div><br>I disagree for three reasons:<br>1.) Kids aren't going to grok or care<br>2.) We need to start talking about Sugar and the UI as soon as possible for people who are literally on their first boot<br>
3.) It's the wrong philosophical to focus on the hardware and secs instead of the experience. Also it brings up the opportunity for contrast with conventional machines in numbers that don't matter.<br> </div><div class="Ih2E3d">
