Hi Ajax!

What's the plan for rather old, limited hardware? Have you personally
got XO-1, XO-1.5 units to test? We'll be testing it (with some
trepidation) at OLPC, but it's always better if you can see it in all
its glory on your own.

We also have some hw in the pipeline that can handle OpenGLES; and
that's likely to be increasingly the case for  ARM laptops and
tablets. AFAIK, the current stack can't use OpenGLES, correct?

cheers,
