Last week, The One Laptop Per Child initiative put a name on their first laptop device. The new name is“Children’s Machine” or CM1, apparently taken from the title of Seymour Papert’s book of the same name (published in the early 90s.) There isn’t a signficant amount of technical update. I should mention, though, that the team has brought up Forth on the laptop recently. I used Forth at Atari Coin-op and I can attest to its ease of debugging hardware. Redhat is still slated to deliver a“skinny” version of Fedora Core to be shipped on the laptop.
