Geeky Gifts -- an XO

Dec 26, 2007  By kenf

It wasn't exactly a gift, but I wound up with an XO (One Laptop Per Child) Laptop.

It started when my wife and I decided to donate a laptop as our Christmas gift to her sisters. Then we decided to do the "give one, get one" thing and have one to use. Anyway, it's really neat! And there are several others in my neighborhood so I am hoping we can arrange a playdate for them.

I have been semi-obsessed with the XO for a while now, so yes, please share your impressions (photos and videos are welcome too ;) )

Yesterday I saw the One Laptop Per Child commercial (hey cool -- it's Hiro!) for the first time:

What a great gift all around. Have fun with it, Ken (psssst, you should review it for LinuxJournal.com). :)
