Random brainstorming

In User_talk:MitchellNCharity. And Talk:Educational_content_ideas#Laptop as flexible physical object (ruler, etc).

How Big Are Things? at 800dpi might show up life-size on the laptop.

NASA's Visible Earth images for OLPC countries - Possible demo content?

NASA's Visible Earth has images sorted by country. Perhaps they might make good demo fodder. Some are whole country, others just a feature. Some are topical (some fire, or erosion, etc). Most have descriptive text (in english). Some stereo pairs.

TCC Tiny C Compiler - Include C toolchain on OLPC laptop?

My impression is a gcc toolchain is not planned for the laptop, due to space limitations (a fuzzy recollection - I now can't find it mentioned). So I note TCC, a Tiny C Compiler for x86. GCC compatible, small and fast. Same author as QEMU. So a C toolchain would fit on the laptop.

I also note its libtcc, which permits disk-less run-time C compilation and linking. Just in case anyone encounters a need for it.
