[olug] The OLPC

[Jared Blecker]

My OLPC arrived today and I thought I should share some information about
it.

Build: All plastic, no vents, no fans, no moving parts, rubber membrane
keyboard is sealed, runs cool, should be able to withstand some serious
abuse

Screen:  This has to be the most innovative part of the entire laptop.  Its
has two modes, a LED backlit color mode, and a super high resolution
reflective greyscale mode.  The quality of the color mode is mediocre,
however the greyscale quality is amazing.

Software:  This takes a few minutes to figure out.  After that its quite
easy to find your way around.  I did find out that the OLPC doesn't
currently support WPA(2), however its does work, but not very well.

Camera: Quality isn't that great, but what do you expect for a 188$ machine.

I will reply with more information later.
