Here's the ironic thing.
The kids who are getting the XO machines are getting the machine I have
wanted for years -- a lightweight, no frills portable machine, that is
optimized for text and writing, with wireless, and one that I could take
camping (hand crank) or on a bike trip, etc.
So, with all the "access" to money and technology and online companies -- I
can't buy anything like the OX!
Sucks being in the First World...
