The XO Laptop, despite all the criticism, is for a noble cause and is a wonderful product. I bought it last year and I’ve had hours of great fun on it – it’s got great battery life, a superb screen that works great outdoors and it’s (almost as) hard as nuts. I can’t wait for our kid to grow up and bang away on it!
More power to the people, of course, but the people better be prepared for higher fuel costs, more pollution and more congestion.
(That is indeed a bit rich coming from someone who owns a car.)
