And Sugar Labs have invested time and energy in developing the sugar on
a stick project.  Making 'owning' the computer environment rather than
the hardware, more accessible.

The idea being that schools could purchase class sets of cheap netbooks,
or utilise existing computer labs, but every student could have a much
cheaper USB stick from which to run sugar at school or at home...
(or something to that effect)
