    as to Ed Cherlin on OLPC with respect to
the Marvell presenter, I've seen no other
responses.
    What say I try to get Ed for this coming May
meeting and we'll get someone from Marvell
a few months later?
    Time's getting tight, lemme know, please.
This'll be my default action by Friday of this
week.
thanks,
jim
