[extropy-chat] FWD (Got Caliche?) the Jhai PC

The Jhai PC is designed to thrive in harsh environments, it is affordable, it
creates its own network as it goes, and it can be powered by a car battery and
bicycle crank. It uses OS and supports VoIP -- a low-cost, low-power, voice,
email and web communications system with word processing and spread-sheet
capabilities.

The Navajo Nation do not have complete telephone or electricity coverage in
their sixteen million acres. They believe the Jhai PC may well fill in gaps by
providing a quick and easy link to their existing computer networks to areas
without power or phonelines. So the first real rollout of the equipment may
well be in the continental United States.
