We Got the XO Laptop (aka The Hundred Dollar Kid Laptop)!!
I am totally excited, and can hardly wait to open up the brownish box of the XO Laptop, which was just placed on the porch of the house nonchalantly. I am so over the moon I even screwed up the password of the blog several times - wow, I could jump around and jump around and and and. Our little precious!!! (do you remember Gollum jumping around? Oh God.) It is a strange feeling that we have no idea where the other XO laptop went in the third world though. It would have been better to know who we are connected to laptop-wise.
Here’s a pleasure video for all of you: Lord of the Rings and the Shiny Happy People by REM.
But I don’t want to spoil our family pleasure, and Attila (my husband) is still in the lab, so the great thing is that we have it and we will soon unwrap it together!! I’m going to record it on video, and post it soon too.Mailing of the laptops has just started and I was pretty excited if it arrives safe and sound. All the more, as we wanted to take the cute baby notebook ‘home’, and have a look at it with other guys, kids, teachers in Budapest (we are going home for the holidays from New Orleans to Hungary). YES, YES, YES. :))))
Thank you Laptop.org, Negroponte and the Team and thank you world!
We were amongst the first subscribers, so if yours hasn’t arrived yet, no need to worry. It is coming via FedEx Home Delivery (but I thought that they would give us a call, or tell us something like ‘hey guys, when can we deliver the laptop safely?’ Nothing like that. Shreky was just sitting in the dark alone.) The box is so light, and my mood is light too.
