I'm cross-posting my OLPC (One Laptop Per Child) blog posts from my mommy blog in order to get my act together with this tech mom blog. There will be a number of them from the last three months.

Received our one laptop per child laptops today, just in the nick of time for xmas. I had one out of the box to play as soon as the kids were asleep (or feigning well enough to fool me.)
Initial reactions:
1. Wow this is cool
2. Wow. Really damn cool.
3. Wow I don't know a thing about open source sw.
4. The keyboard seems a little flaky (recalibrated the touchpad and it helped at least on the touchpad.)
5. I already trouble-shot one thing (see aforementioned recalibration) - yay me. www.laptop.org/gettingstarted helped a lot.
6. Did I mention that they're kind of tiny? In an "aww, that's so cute" kind of way, but also in a "gives your hand a cramp" kind of way.
Here's a pic of the little beauty, currently called "liaa" (see aforementioned point about flaky keyboard.)
