All of this sounds fantastic Justin! Thanks
very much for your interest. I'm really
interested to see the child-oriented GUI.
I'm a big fan of improving our educational
system, and exploring the ways that Free
Software can play a part!

Wireless will be a big bonus too, some people
have been asking if that would be a possibility.

Thanks for your interest, glad to have you
on board!
