A Child's View of the OLPC
Finallyjoined!!! sends us a BBC account of a dad who traveled to Nigeria and brought back an XO laptop for his 9-year-old, Rufus. Here is Rufus's review, a child's view of OLPC. "Because it looks rather like a simple plastic toy, I had thought it might suffer the same fate as the radio-controlled dinosaur or the roller-skates he got last Christmas - enjoyed for a day or two, then ignored. Instead, it seems to provide enduring fascination... With no help from his Dad, he has learned far more about computers than he knew a couple of weeks ago, and the XO appears to be a more creative tool than the games consoles which occupy rather too much of his time."
America scams Nigeria!
>> I returned from Nigeria with a sample of the XO laptop
That's nothin'. I returned from Nigeria with my late uncle's ashes and 30% of his $20,000,000 estate.

Name...That...Autocomplete!
Marge: Lisa, you got a letter.
Lisa: It's from my pen-pal Anya! [reads]
Anya: [voice over] Dear Lisa, as I write this, I am very sad. Our
president has been overthrown and

replaced by the benevolent general Krull. All hail Krull and his
glorious new regime! Sincerely, Little Girl.

You expected a Brit to go to Africa and NOT exploit the local population and natural resources?
