So today I woke up and the first thing I did was order my OLPC XO from the Give One Get One program. I have had my hands on one of these a few times and they are great little toys and a good cause.
For me I think its a little peace of history (as well as a cool toy), despise the ups (could not find a link where they signed a country) and downs that the OLPC project has had I feel that they it has been largely responsible for the classmate pc and has even lent some credibility to walmarts gOS, and to a lesser extent Asus’s Eee PC.
So to me its a great offer and it only lasts till November 26 just in time for Christmas. I promise to post more when I have it.

I bought mine on Dec 30, 2007, I’m still waiting for it, I should get it by the end of march. Seems the demand is quite high and they have run out of parts! Patience will be your friend. As for me, my patience is running thin… I want my greenie!
