MBA, OLPC, and some thoughts.
Just finished reading Jason Snell’s review of the Macbook Air. I see the utility for some, and otherwise still think it a bad investment. My chips are going to a souped up Mac Pro sometime later this year (God-willing after the funds present themselves more appropriately). I do think for the most part that the MBA represents the overpriced-underpowered “problem” if you will that kinda takes flight in our consumeristic society. I’m not taking jabs at Apple; I still enjoy their products, and have an affinity for overpriced and overpowered cars that don’t seat many people.
But someone commenting on the product linked to this site, which really got the gears turning for me with respect to world considerations and technology. I didn’t even read all of the site, but the faq was more than provactive enough for me. Read it for yourself. Reflection on necessity has a way of bringing things back into focus. The comments are open.
