So, here’s my new laptop that I haven’t donated yet to a child. I bought it so that I could share one with some child in the world ($400.00 got me one device, and the second was dontated) and because I love gadgets.

I wasn’t having fun with it until I found a new Jabber server to link up to (xochat.org).

Now, I have a community! We’re all hippy gadget freaks!

The computer is supposed to last for 5 years. Originally, it was supposed to have a crank on the side to juice the device up. That proved problematic and so a battery was installed instead.

It’s very easy to use, and comes with a built in camera, a microphone.

Here are a few links to what it’s all about

• The OLPC Wiki
• Info about the GREEN MACHINE
• The processor designer and 50×15 supporter: AMD

Stay tuned for more…
