will be soon.<BR><BR>Is it targeted for a garden variety linux PC or the OLPC

There will be lots of other folks working on<BR>OLPC Health related projects,
and if you decide you don't like us or our project,<BR>you can defect and join
another team working on Medical Sensor hardware,<BR>health

something fun, constructive, worthwhile...<BR>Whether or not it is our
