High Temperatures, Dust and PCs
The new computer is called Solo and they're developing it in partnership with a group of software designers based in Britain. The Foundation reports that high temperatures and dust are a large factor in causing a high number of crashes, especially when combined with pirated software versions. The Solo computer is designed to get around these troubles and Fantsuam is now field-testing the latest prototype, which is approximately the size of a single card from the motherboard of a normal PC.
The Solo has no moving parts to fail as the hard drive is replaced by a flash card and is specially engineered to work under 8.5 watts of power. It runs on the Linux computer operating system, which greatly reduces the cost that would otherwise be necessary for the purchase of an operating system.

Famous quotes containing the words high and/or dust:
“What did it matter where you lay once you were dead? In a dirty sump or in a marble tower on top of a high hill? You were dead, you were sleeping the big sleep, you were not bothered by things like that. Oil and water were the same as wind and air to you.”
—Raymond Chandler (1888–1959)
“No matter how vital experience might be while you lived it, no sooner was it ended and dead than it became as lifeless as the piles of dry dust in a school history book.”
—Ellen Glasgow (1874–1945)
