My initial reactions to my new OLPC XO-1:
- The screen is smaller than I expected, but very readable
- The laptop is almost weightles on my lap
- It is also completely silent & doesn't emit any heat. Very cool.
- The keys are way small. It is very slow to type.
- The OS is fairly intuitive & easy to pick up (except I can't figure out how to change my user name)
- The "rotate screen" button is pretty cool
- I can't connect to my local wirelss network, but I may have the wrong password...will try again tomorrow
- Wonder how long the battery will last - hope it's at least 4 hours
- Now how do I save these notes!??
Also making sure I can post from the OLPC. So far so good, except not sure how pop-ups are supposed to work (to preview this blog in a new window, or to select email addresses in Yahoo). Ummm...also not sure how to copy or paste. Or where the file manager is. Hopefully this will work out!
