As soon as the school gets electricity they will be all set.

where’s the crank?
I thought the $100 model was supposed to have a power crank?
Re:where’s the crank?
When John Negroponte phoned me up just a bit ago he told me they did away with the crank because it caused too much stress on the case. They have some nifty ripcord type thingy now (I had toy cars with those when I was a wee youngster).
Or they told them the mouse was actually a foot pedal. I can’t remember which.
