Battro kept reiterating that point about it being an educational project, and I will continue to echo it when I talk about other edtech projects. Good luck on your XO user groups. I look forward to hearing about it! Troy Thanks, Kevin.

Too much info for right now, but I will return to it later. I like that your impression is that it is not about the laptop itself, but about the educational opportunities the XO might open up. I agree. That is the power of the project, even with its quirks and bumps. I am now trying to organize a gathering of XOers from my neck of the woods -- there are at least four of us in the area near my neighborhood, which I think is pretty amazing. They came out of the woodwork after I wrote and published a story about my XO in the regional newspaper. Kevin This is fantastic, Troy. Too much info for right now, but I will return to it later.
