    Seriously good deal, every one who has, is, or knows a Idaho 5th grader should take advantage of this. Every Idaho 5th grader gets free tickets at any Idaho ski resort for a $10 ski pasport.

    As someone interested in Linux in education, this astounds me. I hope it is not true and rather an “illustrative example”.

    Blogged in gmail by ben Thursday November 13, 2008

    Google just added video chat to webmail application. Might make it easier to keep in touch, doing video chat without having to fire up Skype or something else. Once you’ve loaded the plugin below you can video chat with others right in your gmail or google apps (nickell.org, pccs.k12.id.us, physics.isu.edu) webmail interface. In my testing it works well but uses quite a bit of CPU, so it might be most useful on a newer computer. But anything that make communication easier and more efficient is a big step forward.

    There is a plugin you have to load (mac and windows only, but I imagine that will take care of most of you for now) Download the plugin here:

    Looking forward to “seeing” you soon,

    Dell has joined the MiniPC/EEEpc work alike fray with the Inpsiron Mini 9. Yay!

    Atom 1.6ghz.. 512mb or 1gb memory, choice of 4/8/16gb flash drive, 9inch screen at 1024×600, windows xp home or the mysterious miniOS built on ubuntu 8.04. There are options for bluetooth and a 0.3 or 1.3 megapixel webcam.
    It also has 3 usb ports and a 4 in 1 card reader.

    Here’s a review
    that likse the MSI Wind for it’s 10 inch screen better the 9″ Dell Mini and expanded storage options for regular hard drives. The MSI Wind and HP Onenote also have a slighly larger keyboard 88% vs. 92% for the Mini. Myself, I’d prefer a solid state drive but would recommend spending the extra money for the 16gb upgrade.
