Are you referring to the MIT designed OLPC or the Intel designed version...?

Thanks for the calendar update. Have you had a chance to use the OLPC
(One
Laptop Per Child) platform or know someone in the community that has
one?
I have ordered my OLPC. It has not yet arrived. When it does I will be
sure to bring it to a meetin and let everyone play with it.
This Nicholas Negroponte is a curious guy. With
Brian Lamb he is all smooth and conciliatory and
here:
http://www.news.com/Negroponte-Windows-key-to-OLPC-philosophy/2100-1016_3-6215837.html
he is antagonistic poking a stick in the eye of
Intel and MS. BTW exactly who is afraid of MS on
the OLPC? They want to put "a stripped-down
version of Windows XP" on OLPC. Yeah that sounds
like that will work just peachy...
An older piece on Negroponte going after Intel
for "pissing on" him:
http://www.news.com/8301-10784_3-9721242-7.html
My weasel radar was way, way up on this guy
although I am rooting for him and the FOSS/OSS
version of OLPC.
