OLPC XO-1

I own a OLPC XO-1. I got it during the G1G1 2007 program where I paid $400 to get one and give one to someone in a developing country who needs one. I thought it would be cool to see the UI that they created and to help support the program. As of Aug 2010, I still have the machine. I use it to experiment every once in a while and to entertain kids who come to visit. 2 years after I got it, I was admitted to the MIT Media Lab where the project was originally created. In the MAS.110 class, I created an XO Telegraph.
