...PENGUIN THAT ROARED Linux, the little operating system that could, is catching up with big siblings Windows and Macintosh. Last week high-tech heavyweights IBM and Dell announced new deals to sell Linux servers, and a host of other firms declared their support for Gnome, a Windows-like user interface for Linux. Unlike its stuffier competitors, Linux is free, and was developed collaboratively by an international community of hackers. Also unlike its competitors, it has a funky penguin as a mascot...
...stuff on the m100 doesn't appeal to me. While you can "beam" programs and other data to any other Palm user within sight, the hardware for synching the device with your computer is more downscale. Instead of a handy "cradle" that attaches to your PC or Macintosh--so you can just drop the thing in--the m100 comes with a serial cable.

Gates' genius, in fact, was for imitating the Macintosh operating system and its user-friendly elements, which were then introduced in the Windows operating system.

...first blush, his strategy seems to have paid off. The district is accredited again. The hallways are clean and orderly, and a gleaming new Macintosh computer sits atop one of every three desks. Teachers can say their classes are manageable (17 kids per teacher) and that spending, at about $8,000 per pupil, rivals that of some of Wellston's more affluent neighboring districts. But my father has become convinced that all these efforts are never going to be enough. He believes what students in Wellston need is nothing less than a "fortress," a boarding "academy" that can insulate them...
