It started as this...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=azE7bifgzUg

And then I started getting emails and texts from friends who saw the story on their local news stations

Then AOL.com had it their home page in their top 11 stories!
Then CNN Headline News aired it

And...well, wow!  One of the kids who was in the interview was still at the hospital today.  R2-D2 and I went up to visit and showed him on the laptop he was now famous!

Made his day!

There must also be a flyable computer available for Nefarious to do FSO. So he doesn't keep talking about it for eight and a half hours on Friday night!

If I had the money, your new computer would already be on it's way.

It would be hard to do anything better than make sick kids feel good for a while. Keep at it.
