It is SLOW and the UI isn't what they are used too. If I was a kid I'd rather have Dad's old laptop with a 14" screen and Windows 95 or Windows 2000 - at least I could print and run an email client. Hmmm - maybe I'm just new to this and see the missing parts. David I can see why kinds wouldn’t be interested. It is SLOW and the UI isn’t what they are used too.

There were kids at the meet up & I hope that there will be more at the next one. Many of the Ottawa XO owners I've met so far bought them for their children. I know several other children in that age group who were not at the last meet up, but who are planning to come to the next one. We want them to be family-friendly events. I'll be sure to send you an email for the next meet up notice on it and/keep an eye on this space and on the OLPC news forum spac, too! 4xo!

I would love to get my kids together with other Ottawa kids to xo-interact (read motivate each other to use the xo). Maybe we need an Ottawa xo kids klub (OXOKK) that gets together somewhere and kids learn from each other and get into it. If any one with kids 7 to 13 is interested, email me at 4xo@komokoa.com I have kids, ages 7 to 10, and can’t get them satisfactorily excited about the xo.
