It's not a PC like you're used to. Or at least, it's not something you do big compiles on, setup databases and webservers on. It's a low end system however it has some amazing features. Easy portable, great LCD in sunlight, rucked etc. I can see it as a powerful alternative to some PDAs when it comes to in-the-field operations. > I thought it was meant to poor countries. > Does the US now fall into this category? > Sorry. Unfortunately, the answer there is yes. At least in some parts; XO - or OLPC is about giving children that otherwise wouldn't have it, a chance to gain technology knowledge and there through general knowledge and learning. Skills they need to survive, get good jobs etc. OLPC is actually giving away XO's in some parts of the US. Tragic but true. -- Peter Larsen <plarsen@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
