OLPC is running the get one/give one program again this year, and this time I didn’t want to miss out. I ordered the xo laptop at Amazon and it arrived one day later (even with standard shipping). So far, I have been very pleased with the device. The main reason I purchased the xo is I wanted a very portable machine with a sunlight viewable screen. I spend much of my time in ssh, so I dont need a powerful machine. Of course the main drawback of the xo is the keyboard, which is about completely unusable to my fat fingers. Fortunately, external usb keyboards work fine, and so I’m using a spare keyboard for the time being. I will look into buying a small but usable keyboard.

An infinite number of mathematicians walk into a bar. The first one orders a beer. The second orders half a beer. The third, a quarter of a beer. The bartender says “You’re all idiots”, and pours two beers.
