the only way that I can think of to 'overcome this minor hurdle' of leap year would be to add in another whole week or change the length of days. If you added in another whole week, that would have to once every 28 years? that doesn't really sound like it is going to work. I think that changing the length of the days, would just screw up the whole daylight timing. If he could seriously come up with a feasible solution to Leap Year, then and only then would he be able to get people to listen

Are they serious? Whatever happened to the idea of having computer labs and just having computer classes for kids? I think that would be just as effective, if not more, than giving every kid a bare bones computer (which is what I am understanding to happen here).
Shouldn't kids learn the basics first, such as reading, writing, and arithmetic, before they starting trying to have machines do it for them?
Maybe we should have that 'third half' work on the basics too...

They're your only friend, they're not your only friend, but they're a little glowing, but really they're not actually your friend, but they are...

Actually, that was Dan Quayle
Now who is going to come up with the coolest case for this computer? I was thinking some PVC pipes and a glowing skull...
Did I read that right? 5 atoms that work as a processor and memory? Geez... I just don't know where I will find room for that on my desk...
