I have an Asus - keyboard a bit small for me (large 6'4" bloke), OK for
occasional days but would not want to spend weeks using it.

I played with an OLPC a couple of days ago. The keys are small and rubbery
(some sort of membrane over it). Again - I would not be keen to use it for
many days.

BTW: the idea was floated of UKUUG getting together an order of these (100+),
The deal would be the: you pay for 2 but get 1, the other going to a child
in the 3rd world somewhere. I'm not sure what the price would be (waiting
for full proposal).

Would people be interested ?
