If it was me, I would just spend the money on an iPhone.

Perhaps it should be worried about a computer from a company that rhymes with Snapple?

That reminds me...
XP on OLPC? Here it crashes but gets close. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6QtGLAXssPo Here it actually works...but no GUI just a command prompt. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mNCoWcedzt0 -------------------- "When I look at the smiles on all the children's faces, I just know they're about to jab me with something."

It's what separates us from the animals ... except the weasel." Tags

QUOTE (hooovahh @ Apr 3 2008, 06:00 PM) That reminds me... XP on OLPC? I still cannot fathom WHY someone would actually go through the trouble of installing XP on something which is superiour without it..... As to the Iphone. Well. If you like your life being DRM'd by Steve Jobs then more power to you. I'm getting an Eee soon, and I certainly will NOT be putting XP on it. Shane. PS I would have bought an OLPC, but they don't ship outside the US. Tags

I didn't say it was better, I just think its interesting. The "because I can" factor is interesting enough. How functional XP would be?...not so much.

I'd love to have those days back where I could afford the "because I can" time it takes to do things like these. But somehow, spending the day doing useful things has it's rewards too..... Shane.

Here's a VI Shots interview with Justin and his OLPC. Check out TurtleDraw. Very nice.
Edit: It looks like OLPC is partnering with Microsoft. Gonna switch to Windows? Uh oh. -------------------- Tags
