The multi-millions of people I am interested in helping do not have access to the internet. I can give them a 35ยข DVD with thousands of books on it or 2 hours of video and they can play it on a old, used computer. Study for hours. Library for schools, etc. The material is not copyrighted but some which is, I have permission to put on DVDs. I wrote about the XO in order to expend the use of thousands of DVDs for children.
I am not an expert [two friends are] on computers, etc but I am an expert on using them. In simple language, is there a way to make the XO play DVDs?
