Well, no, but a pocket calculator would serve an educational purpose too. All I'm suggesting is that I think the OLPC could offer much more value with a bit more work. Currently the OS is bizarre and half-baked, and various features (like the keyboard) are extremely awkward to use in a way that they shouldn't have to be.
The mesh wifi is fantastically done (the UI for that part is pretty great too) but it's only one part of a rather incoherent whole.
