We even got a lecture / talk with Nicholas Negroponte. I had the privilege to play around with the prototype of the laptop. I'll have to say, it feels very solid and promising. It is definitely not a gadget. I am excited to see what becomes of this ambitious project. <br><br>Insider trivia: the white and green color scheme of the laptop is based on Nigeria flag (as a thank you for the support from the president).]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Wayne]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Feb 27th 2007 9:27PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on OLPC BTest-2 XO beta machine sequel arrives]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2007/02/27/olpc-btest-2-xo-beta-machine-sequel-arrives/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2007/02/27/olpc-btest-2-xo-beta-machine-sequel-arrives/</guid><description><![CDATA[can you run doom on it? hehe 1st!]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[chadherrella]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Feb 27th 2007 10:18PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on OLPC BTest-2 XO beta machine sequel arrives]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2007/02/27/olpc-btest-2-xo-beta-machine-sequel-arrives/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2007/02/27/olpc-btest-2-xo-beta-machine-sequel-arrives/</guid><description><![CDATA[Aaahhhhhhh.....eerrrrr.....]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[lyl545646]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Feb 27th 2007 10:23PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on OLPC BTest-2 XO beta machine sequel arrives]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2007/02/27/olpc-btest-2-xo-beta-machine-sequel-arrives/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2007/02/27/olpc-btest-2-xo-beta-machine-sequel-arrives/</guid><description><![CDATA[I hope a version of these gets sold in the us with profits going to the project or something like that.
