New gadget!
My OLPC XO arrived today. First impressions:
- It's quite big!
- Nice build quality - not as good as the Eee, but then it costs half as much.
- The "rabbit ear" wifi antennae are incredibly cute.
- It boots bit slowly compared to the Eee.
- My first attempt at connecting to wifi failed -- I could easily find out the first steps of what to do, but was foiled when the dialog where you enter the network key refused to close when I hit OK
More later.
