       First of all,I'm not a technical writer.But...i'm an emotional writer plus little tech knowledge.If you are looking specifically for technology about XO,follow the link and don't read it. Just want to save your time.
        When i was attending the itu youth forum event at Bangkok,we all got one xo laptop per each participants. I guess,firstly,we all might think what this little computer is. small,inefficient and difficult to manage,this laptop is a little weird i feel. After the main session of our forum,they,ITU members arrange a session about introduction of One Laptop Per Child Project.But I'm not that interested about it.But I'm happy because whatever this laptop is good or bad or useful for me,I got it 'FREE'.And at the next day,one lady and a gent(they are XO experts) gave us a guide about this small laptop.after this teaching session,I can use it as an end-user level plus can tell others how to...It includes many functions and useful applications to touch the technology for children whom  live in remote areas and least-developed countries.You can check about this: OLPC Offical site and OLPC information and news.I saw some guys(open source guys and Linux geeks) try to figure out every things about XO.They look very enthusiastic and interested about this.In this point,i want to tell you about the guy from Israel.He is a Linux geek and explain some basic stuffs about Phyton and some-I-don't-know-things about XO. Frankly, I don't know much about open-source technology and strange from Linux environment.Thanks to this guy for lighting up my brain about open source technology. When i came back to my home,I use this Laptop as a e-book reader when the electricity is cut out.(Not a big deal!) And the other time,I put it away to under my study table.But one day, In the middle of reading a comic book,it's freeze and can't shut down.This broking matter make me to feel about XO. To repair this,I surf the net and discuss about it in the forum atOlpc news bogs,news and fourm site .It make me suprise that many technology specialists,XO geeks are a lot of guys than I thought.They think big,idealize and criticize a lot to improve,modify this small laptop to get the best position. Other similar notebook like Asus Android-based-Notebook which cost around 100$.Now,XO geeks are trying to upgrade and modify XO version1 and trial XO version2.Some least-developed countries are started to lauched a triall project for OLPC inititive  to use the computer at schools situated in rural and remote areas. Now,i can imagine that one day,this project gonna be the biggest dream for children.We all need to support this project as much as we can. Childern are "Lack of opportunity,not capability".Share ur thoughts and ideas to reach the mission of OLPC project.
