Hi, http://www.j5live.com/?p=363 is also a nice read in this context. And the decision to have a higher priced (=better) modell was made by the launch countries, to avoid having an upgraded machine in a year. Same model longer is what they wanted, even if it cost a bit more up front. I really suggest to subscribe to http://mailman.laptop.org/mailman/listinfo/community-news there you can read amazing stuff like this: Weather-proofing: XO is made for use outdoors. On a rainy day in Boston, Mary Lou decided to let the BBC film her testing the XO in a downpour. She worked with the laptop for an hour in the pouring rain while they filmed; both she and the laptop got drenched. XO worked fine; the crew were to be able to see the screen clearly outside—it was bright despite the rain. (XO=OLPC laptop) regards, Holger
