Default Low-cost XO Laptop

One of the many new things to come out at CES this year.

A laptop with a crank on it. Bet it sucks if you're well into a paper and forget to crank it.

I wonder if regional FOs will be considered residents of the the 3rd world? This should work great in the RV parked in the employee lot, no power plug required.

The networking capabilities will even connect all the RVs with each other! But I do wonder how the hardcore porn folks are going to like this little machine.

Default Psp

I use the Sony PSP that I received for Christmas as a poor mans laptop. It has a wireless connection to the internet[I don't use it for games]. I can then log onto my company site for non-reving capabilities. Just have to hang out near the VIP lounges in airports[free wireless for those folks] to avoid the fees some airports charge.
