Add a network attached, or USB attached to your computer drive, and
the onboard storage should never be a problem for the kids. ('Your
computer' being the house 'server'.)

	Heck, for us / portable use, storage expansion is just a USB key away.

It does look interesting.

I would want to see, however, that the apps. are open standard. e.g.
Open Doc, and the PIM connects / uses the same files as the equivalent
KDE apps.

I, for one, very much hope John succeeds in a LUG demo presentation.
