basically, yes. but that's probably due to the limited experience. i for
one know palm pda/smartphone and laptop/pc -- according to the spec the om
resembles a pc rather than a pda/smartphone so i more or less consciously
shape my expectations after that.
but i am not sure if that in any way makes it incomopatible with your
ideas expressed there.

sounds good. it's not that i think the unix/linux way is the best ever
possible -- it's only that i think security _is_ a key feature, how we
achieve that feature is a matter open to discussion.
if the olpc folks got it working for childs it means it will work for
average joe as well ...
