I've posted a few times about the XO (One Laptop Per Child, Laptop.org). My wife and I jumped at the chance to order one as part of the option for US residences to participate, buying two and having one sent abroad.
Of all my X-mas experiences, I don't recall ever having 1 item I was most looking forward to and waiting for it to arrive by mail. To top it off, it arrived today, Dec 24th, in the afternoon.
It's amazing! Not a laptop replacement (not for the faint at heart, at least) but definitely a gadget worth spending some time with. The idea that this may play the role in the world that it might makes the experience a little sacred.
The keyboard is tiny, almost like a speak-n-spell. The whole thing is unbelievably tiny. But it showed me my neighborhood Wi-Fi signals on a 2-D layout like I've never seen, and made joining connections into a mesh network a snap.
...bottom line, I can't put it down and I'm posting this from it right now.
Hopefully, this can be a huge step forward for mankind.
Merry Christmas.
