Is the laptop cool? I haven't gotten one yet, but my uber geek husband says they're supposed to be good and it certainly seems to have some cool features that make it a great thing for kids. It's ultra rugged, extremely energy efficient with a very long battery life, and claims to have a much better antennae for wireless than regular laptops. It's also very green. The XO laptop runs Linux and comes with a nice set of software that appears to be similar to a pared down version of what you get with a Mac (there's a iPhoto like app, music creating and editing programs, a drawing program, a writing program, a web browser, etc.) It even has a built in camera. How psyched would your kids be to get this neat little laptop for the Holidays? How psyched should you be about being able to help a community of children that really need this technology get it? I've been ignoring my children's pleas for their own laptops for over a year now, but I think that this is an opportunity to indulge my children and someone else's at the same time. Give one. Get one. Today.
